George Green (2 May 1901[1] – 1980[2]) was an English footballer who played as a wing half in the Football League with Sheffield United in the 1920s and 1930s.

He was born in Leamington Spa and played for a number of local teams before signing for First Division side Sheffield United in 1923.[2] He went on to make 422 senior appearances for the Yorkshire club, scoring 11 times.[2] He was a member of the successful United side that won the FA Cup in 1925.[3]
