George Chet Forrest (born July 31, 1915 in Brooklyn, New York, USA - died 10 October 1999 in Miami, Florida, USA) was an American composer and lyricist.

Forrest collaborated with his partner Robert Craig Wright for more than 70 years - frequently adapting classical composers’ music, to create some 2,000 songs featured in 16 stage musicals, 18 revues, and 58 movies, as well as a number of cabaret acts. Among their best-known musicals were Song of Norway (1944), the Tony Award-winning Kismet (1953), and Grand Hotel (1989).

Wright and Forrest’s most known songs include The Donkey Serenade (from The Firefly, with composer Herbert Stothart, based on a theme by Rudolf Friml), Always and Always (from Mannequin) and It’s a Blue World (from Music in My Heart).
