Geoffrey Pryor (born 1944 in Canberra) is a retired Australian political cartoonist. He was the editorial cartoonist for The Canberra Times newspaper between 1978 and 2008. His graphic style is ornate, much more detailed and portrait-like than that of such contemporaries as Patrick Cook. He was cartoonist for The Saturday Paper until his "second retirement" in December 2018.

The National Library of Australia holds Pryor’s collection of cartoons originally published in The Canberra Times.

In 2016, Pryor was inducted into the ACT Honour Walk, which recognises individuals and groups who have made significant contributions to Canberra and the Australian Capital Territory.
