George A. T. Rygh was a Norwegian hymnologist and translator active in the early-to-mid twentieth century. He contributed to Norwegian religious music through his work as a translator of hymnic texts, helping to bridge Scandinavian and English-language Protestant traditions. Rygh's translations facilitated the dissemination of hymns across Nordic Lutheran communities. Limited biographical documentation exists regarding his life details and specific major works in hymnody. His contributions represent the important but often understudied role of translators in the preservation and spread of Christian hymnic literature across language barriers.
