Georgia Somerset, Duchess of Beaufort (née Powell; born 18 February 1969) is an English journalist who is married to Henry Somerset, 12th Duke of Beaufort.

Powell is the daughter of the director and producer Tristram Powell and his wife, the former Virginia Lucas, and is thus a granddaughter of the novelist Anthony Powell. She studied Classics at the University of Oxford, and is best known as a columnist and obituarist for the Daily Telegraph.
