Englund was born George Howe Ripley in Washington, D.C., the son of actress Mabel Albertson and Harold Austin Ripley. His mother was Jewish. His uncle was actor Jack Albertson. After his parents divorced, his mother married Ken Englund, whose surname young George adopted.

Englund was married to actress Cloris Leachman from 1953 to 1978. They had five children: Adam, Bryan (1955-1986), George, Jr., Morgan, and Dinah. While he was married to Leachman he had an affair with actress Joan Collins, which was confirmed by Leachman. "He was very handsome, very urbane, incredibly witty. Fascinating. And eight years older than me," Collins said.

On April 10, 1980, he married actress Bonnie Graves. They had two children: Graves and Max (1982-1994). The couple divorced in 1992. For the last ten years of his life, his companion was Frances Bowes, art collector, patron, and vice-chair lady at Dia Center for the Arts.
