George Roger Waters (Great Bookham, 6 settembre 1943) è un cantautore, polistrumentista e compositore britannico.
È stato cofondatore e, principalmente nelle vesti di bassista e cantante, membro storico del gruppo musicale inglese Pink Floyd, insieme a Syd Barrett (cui subentrerà dopo poco David Gilmour), Richard Wright e Nick Mason.
Storico paroliere del gruppo e ideatore delle tematiche sottese ad alcuni degli album più celebri prodotti dal quartetto (come The Dark Side of the Moon, Animals e The Wall), nella seconda metà degli anni Settanta ha progressivamente acquistato sempre più influenza decisionale all'interno del gruppo, divenendone il leader, nonché principale "mente creativa", finché, a causa di insanabili rivalità, ne uscì nel 1985 per proseguire la carriera da solista.
