Jurgis Zablockis (Latin: Georgius Sablocius; died in 1563) was one of the first known writers in the Lithuanian language. Two hymns that he translated from German to Lithuanian were published by Martynas Mažvydas. One of them was published in Simple Words of Catechism, the first printed book in the Lithuanian language. He earned a living tutoring sons of the nobility and frequently accompanied them to Protestant universities in Germany. He was a tutor to Martynas Mažvydas and Bishop Merkelis Giedraitis.
