George Nolfi is an American writer-director best known for Bourne Ultimatum, Oceans Twelve, and The Adjustment Bureau. His most recent film, The Banker, starring Sam Jackson and Anthony Mackie won the 2021 NAACP Image Award for Best Independent Motion Picture.

Nolfi's first screenwriting credit was for adapting Michael Crichton's bestseller, Timeline. In 2004, he adapted his spec screenplay Honor Among Thieves into Ocean's Twelve. That same year, he rewrote the ending of Bourne Supremacy weeks before release, and in 2007 co-wrote Bourne Ultimatum. His continued work with Matt Damon lead to his directorial debut, The Adjustment Bureau, which co-starred Emily Blunt.

Nolfi was born in Massachusetts. He graduated from Princeton University with plans to pursue a career in government and academia. He studied at Oxford University on a Marshall Scholarship and was beginning his PhD dissertation at UCLA in political science when his spec script, Pathfinder, sold in a bidding war and convinced him to change careers.
