George E. Hargest (1906–1983) was an American philatelist who dedicated his research to the history of postal systems. Based in Florida, Hargest specialized in the study of the overseas use of United States mails, analyzing the historical routes, rates, and treaties that governed international correspondence.
His specialized studies contributed to the broader field of postal history, providing documentation and analysis of how mail was transported between the United States and foreign destinations. Hargest's work remains a subject of interest for philatelists and historians studying the development of global communication networks.
