乔治·阿姆斯特朗·卡斯特(英語:George Armstrong Custer;1839年12月5日—1876年6月25日),美国陸軍軍官,曾任第七騎兵團的中校團長及義勇軍少將,以驍勇聞名。著有自传《我的平原生涯》。卡斯特原先是受到青睞的美國總統候選人之一。
卡斯特祖先居住在德国的莱茵兰,在1693年左右移民北美。
1839年生於俄亥俄州朱威特,并在1861年西點軍校砲兵科當屆最後一名畢業,曾率领第七骑兵团参与美国南北战争,曾經以密西根骑兵五百人,殲滅一支南军骑兵旅,俘虏官兵七百餘人,1865年時,官拜少將。
南北戰爭結束後,復級為正規軍中校,率領第七騎兵團。
美國淘金熱風潮大起,白人拓荒採金,卻時常遭到美國原住民印第安人獵首,於是卡斯特奉命進兵綏剿。
1876年6月25日,闻名美軍的卡斯特參與北美印第安战争,自己率領兩百餘騎兵與雷諾少校(Reno)、班廷上尉(Benteen)分兵三路,進攻蒙大拿州的黑山山谷,沒想到雷諾與班廷遇阻退卻,卡斯特及其所部遭印第安酋长“疯马”、“紅雲”與“坐牛”率领的三千名印第安人战士伏击,弹尽阵亡(一說為自杀),是為小大角戰役。
