Geoffrey Colin Osborne (born 24 February 1956) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played two first-class and nine List matches for Otago between the 1977–78 and 1981–82 seasons.[1]

Geoff Osborne was born at Dunedin in 1956.[2] He played age-group cricket for Otago from the 1975–76 season and made his senior debut for the representative side in November 1977, playing in a List A match against Central Districts. He went on to play the first of his two first=class matches later in the season, playing against the New Zealand under-23 side. Osborne played occasionally for the one-day side of the following three seasons, never making more than three appearances in a season. His final first-class match came against Canterbury in January 1982. He also played two Hawke Cup matches for Southland during the 1981–82 season.[3]

Osborne's daughter Sarah played for Otago women between 2009–10 and 2013–14, making almost 50 appearances for the side.[4] His son Jason has played Hawke Cup cricket for Southland.[5]
