}} Georg Graf von Hertling (August 31, 1843 – January 4, 1919) was a Bavarian politician who served as Prime Minister of Bavaria and as Chancellor of the German Empire from 1917 to 1918. Quite old when he became Chancellor, he was unable to overcome the power of the military high command, led by Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, despite having been a deputy to the Reichstag and a leader of the Centre Party. (He was required to resign his seat when he took office under the Kaiser.)

In civil life he was a professor of philosophy.

He was a member of K.St.V. Arminia at Bonn.

His great-granddaughter is actress Gila von Weitershausen.
