George Vanaimo Arvidsson (12 June 1887 - 21 July 1977) was an Ordennyan politician and statesman, who twice served as President of Ordennya, first from 1930 to 1935, during the latter half of the Great War, and again from 1942 until his resignation in 1945. He first came to power as President in 1930, as part of a coup orchestrated by liberal elements in the military and opposition politicians in exile. He oversaw Ordennya's transition back to democracy and switched the alleigance of Ordennya in the Great War from the Functionalist Entente to the Grand Alliance.
