George Augustus Frederick Louis Curzon-Howe, 2nd Earl Howe (16 January 1821 – 4 February 1876)was a British peer and Conservative party politician.

Curzon-Howe was the eldest son of Richard William Penn Curzon-Howe, 1st Earl Howe and Harriet Georgiana Brudenell. He married Harriet Mary Sturt, daughter of Henry Charles Sturt and Lady Charlotte Penelope Brudenell, on 3 February 1846.

He was commissioned as Captain "Viscount Curzon" in the Prince Albert's Own Leicestershire Yeomanry Cavalry in 1846. His father, Earl Howe, was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Regiment at the time and later became Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant in 1861. In 1861 George was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel George A F L Visc. Curzon and shared the PAOLYC Colonelcy with Lieutenant-Colonel the Honourable Charles Powys (late 9th Lancers). In 1870 he became Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant 2nd Earl Howe PAOLYC on the death of his father, until his own death in 1876.

He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Southern Division of Leicestershire from 1857 to 1870.

Until the death of his father, George Curzon-Howe was styled 'Viscount Curzon' (it is a British custom for an earl's heir apparent to be referred to as a viscount, if the second most senior title, held by the head of the family is a viscountcy). On his father's death in 1870, Curzon-Howe gained the title 2nd Earl Howe. On his own death on 4 February 1876 at age 55, his titles passed to his brother Richard Curzon-Howe, 3rd Earl Howe.
