George Reinholt (born August 22, 1939 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American actor.

Reinholt is best known for his soap roles: Steve Frame on Another World from 1968 to 1975, and Tony Harris Lord on One Life to Live from 1975 to 1977.

He was fired from Another World in 1975 when head writer Harding Lemay wrote him out of the program. In his memoir, Eight Years in Another World, Lemay had pegged Reinholt's behavior to be not unlike a diva. In a well-publicized move, Reinholt nabbed jobs both for him and his on-screen love interest, Jacqueline Courtney, on rival soap One Life to Live.

He has since retired from acting and has come out as a Censored page. His disdain for discrimination against gay actors in the genre has alienated him from casting directors, and he has sworn off any comebacks in the medium. His resolve was weakened twice, once when he returned briefly for AW's 25th anniversary show in 1989, and another time when he considered returning in the mid-1990s. However, casting directors were not keen on the idea and he was not hired for any of the jobs he tested for.
