Captain George Kendall (b. c. 1570 – d. 1608) was a member of the first council appointed at Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia. Kendall arrived with the founding fleet, and was sworn to the council on 23 May [O.S. 13 May] 1607. After landfall was made at Jamestown Island, Kendall was apparently instrumental in the construction of the first fortification.
