George C. McVittie (1912–2000) was a British cosmologist and mathematician known for his contributions to the field of cosmology, particularly in relation to the development of models of the universe. He is noted for his work on the McVittie solution, which describes a specific type of spacetime in general relativity that represents a spherically symmetric mass in an expanding universe. This solution has implications for understanding how gravity interacts with cosmic expansion.
