Georg Gustaf Wilhelm von Braun (born March 21, 1886 - died August 23, 1972) was a Swedish horse rider who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics and in the 1924 Summer Olympics.
In 1920 he and his horse Diana won the gold medal with the Swedish team in the team eventing competition. They also participated in the individual eventing competition and finished eighth.
Four years later he competed with his horse Diana in the individual jumping event and finished 19th. The Swedish jumping team won the gold medal, but von Braun was not awarded with the gold medal due to being the weakest link.
