George Napper was an English Catholic priest who lived during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Born around 1550 to a family with connections to Oxford, he was expelled from Corpus Christi College for his recusancy. After studying at the English College in Douai, he returned to England to serve on the Catholic mission. His commitment to his faith led to his arrest and eventual execution in 1610, making him a martyr of the Reformation.
