By George (subtitled George Cables Plays the Music of George Gershwin) is an album of George Gershwin tunes by pianist George Cables recorded in 1987 and released on the Contemporary label. The album was Cable's third for the label and released in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Gershwin's death.
Scott Yanow of AllMusic said "The fact that he was able to come up with fresh statements on these warhorses (and still stay melodic) says a great deal about Cables's inventiveness." The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that the album was "richly sophisticated, and the solo performances of 'Embraceable You' and 'Someone to Watch over Me' are excellent examples of his innate rhythmic sense."
