George Foxcraft was the ninth administrator of the colony of Madras in British India for two terms starting from August 1665 to 16 September 1665 and 22 August 1668 to January 1670. During the rule of his predecessor Sir Edward Winter he was imprisoned on suspicion of having made utterances against King Charles II. However when his term came to an end he took over as the British East India Company’s Agent and was the first to be given the title Governor of Fort St George.
