Georges Wakhévitch (Georgy Leonidovich Vakhevich; August 18, 1907 in Odessa, Russian Empire – February 11, 1984 in Paris) was a Russian-born French art director.
The son of a naval engineer, he immigrated to France in 1921. He was grew up in Paris, where he studied painting. He was an assistant to film director Lazare Meerson in the 1920s.
