The Georges Irat was a French automobile manufactured by engine builder Georges Irat from 1921 to 1946.

The company's first product was an ohv 1990cc four-cylinder, which gave way in 1926 to a 2985 cc six-cylinder. The company turned to producing Lycoming engines in 1929, both sixes and eights; this was also the year in which they moved from Chatou to Neuilly. The manufacturer was partially taken over by Ruby in 1934, consequently moving to that company's works in Levallois. Here they made two roadsters, one with a Ruby engine, and one with an engine produced by Citroen. Both were four-wheel-drive models.

The Georges Irat did not survive World War II; although a prototype was shown after the war, nothing came of it.
