George Fleming Houston (1896 – 1944) was an American B-western film actor and accomplished singer in the early half of the 20th century.

Despite his not being cast in the "Billy the Kid" role, PRC gave Houston his own series of films. He would make eleven films as "The Lone Rider" in which he sang the theme song in an equally rousing tenor voice at the beginning and end. Al "Fuzzy" St. John played his sidekick in all eleven films. However, by the end of 1942, Houston was replaced by veteran actor Bob Livingston as the "Lone Rider."
