George Ullman (September 19, 1893 – 1976) was an American talent agent, talent manager, and business consultant primarily known for his work with silent film star Rudolph Valentino.

While working for Valentino, Ullman took on and created many duties that would come to define being a talent manager in later years. After Valentino's premature death in 1926 Ullman went on to create his own talent agency, representing many former silent film stars such as Baby Peggy, Eric von Stroheim and Theda Bara.
