George Agar, 1st Baron Callan
George Agar, 1st Baron Callan PC (4 December 1751 – 29 October 1815) was an Anglo-Irish politician and peer.

Agar was the third son of James Agar, of Ringwood, County Kilkenny, by the Honourable Rebecca Flower, daughter of William Flower, 1st Baron Castle Durrow and Edith Caulfeild. Ellis Bermingham, Countess of Brandon, was his aunt. His father was killed in a duel with Henry Flood in 1769, the culmination of a long and bitter political feud. He was educated at Eton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.

Agar was returned to the Irish House of Commons for Callan in 1776, a seat he held until 1790, and was admitted to the Irish Privy Council in 1789. In 1790 he was elevated to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Callan, of Callan in the County of Kilkenny. In 1801 he was elected as one of the original 28 Irish representative peer to sit in the House of Lords.

Lord Callan never married and the title became extinct on his death in October 1815, aged 63.
