George A. Parkhurst (March 18, 1841 – July 2, 1890), was an American stage actor who was one of the last surviving members of the company of actors present on the night of April 14, 1865, when John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln during their performance of ''Our American Cousin''.〔Obituary Notice. ''The New York Times'' July 4, 1890 p.5〕 Late in his life Parkhurst created the role Hobbs in the 1888 American debut of ''Little Lord Fauntleroy''.〔( Frances Hodgson Burnett, ''Little Lord Fauntleroy: A Drama in Three Acts'', 1889/1913 )〕
When Booth shot President Lincoln, Parkhurst was onstage playing the part of a bailiff 〔The Dr. John K. Lattimer collection of Lincolniana By Heritage Auction Galleries (Dallas, Tex.)〕 as a member of a stock company managed by the British actress Laura Keene.〔 Parkhurst had planned to stop by Booth’s dressing room at Ford's Theatre that night to borrow a costume;〔 an appointment that for different reasons both missed.〔An Actor’s Career Closed. ''The Daily Inter Ocean'' (Chicago, Illinois), July 03, 1890; p. 6〕

Parkhurst was born in New York State and may have been raised in Bergen, New Jersey with his brother Benjamin .〔Parkhurst, George, Bergen, New Jersey, 1850 US Census records〕Parkhurst received some training for the stage from the actor Edwin Forrest.
