George Hastings, 8th Earl of Huntingdon (1677–1705) was the son of Theophilus Hastings, 7th Earl of Huntingdon and Elizabeth Lewis. He succeeded his father in 1701 and died of malignant fever on 22 February 1704/5, aged 27, unmarried.^[1]

Hastings was educated at Foubert's Academy and Wadham College, Oxford.^[2] From 14 March 1702 to 2 March 1703 he was the Colonel of the Huntingdon's Regiment. It was the first of the newly raised regiments, after Queen Anne authorised the raising of 15 new regiments in 1702, to proceed overseas. The regiment was posted to Holland in the Netherlands, during the War of the Austrian Succession. It fought in numerous campaigns across Europe, winning its first battle honour at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743. Regiments were officially numbered in 1751, and the 33rd Regiment of Foot (First West Riding Regiment) became the regiments official title.^[3]
