'''Saint-Georges''' ({{IPA|fr|sɛ̃ ʒɔʁʒ}}) is a [[metro station|station]] on [[Paris Métro Line 12|Line 12]] of the [[Paris Métro]] in the [[9th arrondissement of Paris|9th arrondissement]].

The station opened on 8 April 1911 as part of the extension of the [[Nord-Sud company]]'s line A from [[Notre-Dame-de-Lorette (Paris Métro)|Notre-Dame-de-Lorette]] to [[Pigalle (Paris Métro)|Pigalle]]. On 27 March 1931 line A became line 12 of the ''Métro''. The station is named after the ''Rue Saint-Georges'', which became a street in 1734 and leads to the ''Place Saint-Georges'', created in 1824.  It was the centre of an estate created by the speculator Dosne, father-in-law of the politician [[Adolphe Thiers]].

It was renovated during the early 2000s in imitation of the style adopted by the ''Nord-Sud Company'', the original architects of the station. In fact, the current decorative style only vaguely resembles the original: the station name is no longer shown on large ceramic tablets (as at [[Solférino (Paris Métro)|Solférino]] and [[Abbesses (Paris Métro)|Abbesses]]) and does not follow the original colour-coding: the edge of the ceramic name tablets should be brown to designate a non-interchange station, rather than green.
