* Appears in ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', where Creator/JonathanGroff portrays him as a goofy psycho who lightheartedly comments on the start of UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution, its aftermath, and finally UsefulNotes/JohnAdams' succession as President of the United States.

* Appears in ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', where he is the only character the book explicitly calls to be played by a white actor; significantly, all his songs are in the style of traditional Broadway show tunes, contrasting with the mostly hip-hop-based songs from the rest of the cast. In the original Broadway production, Creator/JonathanGroff portrays him as a goofy psycho who lightheartedly comments on the start of UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution, its aftermath, and finally UsefulNotes/JohnAdams' succession as President of the United States. He also appears briefly during ''The Reynolds Pamphlet'', seen silently throwing around copies of the title document and dancing with the others somehow.

* Appears in ''Literature/JonathanStrangeAndMrNorrell'', where the character of Jonathan Strange attempts to cure him.
* In ''Literature/RipVanWinkle'', the title character sleeps through the entire American Revolution. When he returns to town, one of the peculiar changes he notices is that a prominent portrait of King George has been altered and is now labeled "[[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington General Washington]]." Moreover, Rip nearly gets himself lynched when he declares himself to be "a loyal subject of the king, God bless him," but cooler heads prevail.
* ''Literature/ShadesOfMagic'': ''A Darker Shade of Magic'' (2015) and its sequel ''A Gathering of Shadows'' (2016) has the Antari Kell visits him (and George IV of the United Kingdom) while in Gray London.
* ''Literature/HoratioHornblower'' meets George III.
* ''Literature/ThePrinceAndTheQuakeress'' (1968) and ''Literature/TheThirdGeorge'' (1969) by Jean Plaidy tells the story of George III as a young Prince of Wales and his supposed relationship with Hannah Lightfoot, and then in the latter novel is of his life married to Charlotte and his role as king.
* Briefly appears in ''[[Literature/{{Temeraire}} Victory of Eagles]]'', where his mental health is well and truly on the decline (it's implied that this is at least partly because [[spoiler:[[DayOfTheJackboot Napoleon has invaded England]] and he's had to take refuge in Scotland]]). In fact, as a result, the Regency begins five years earlier than it did in our timeline.

* ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' features a song entitled "No More Kings" which paints George III as a tyrant reluctant to allow the colonies out from under his boot. His portrayal borders on CardCarryingVillain at times, complete with George rubbing his hands as points.
