Georgemas (Ordnance Survey grid reference ND156601) is an area in the county of Caithness, in the Highland area of Scotland, about 8 kilometres (5 miles) from the town of Thurso. It has no real town or village centre of its own but it does have an unstaffed railway station called Georgemas Junction. The station is on the Far North Line.

The area is served also by the A9, A882 and B874 roads. The A9 has a junction with the A882 in the area and forms a crossroads with with the B874.

The name Georgemas seems to be that of a now historic agricultural fair which was held in the area.
