George Maddox (born c. 1811 in Ireland), was an Australian cricket player, who played four games for Tasmania.

He has the distinction of having participated in the first ever first-class cricket match in Australia. Maddox's catch to dismiss the Victorian batsman W. Philpott for 17, off the bowling of Robert McDowell, was the first-ever catch in first-class cricket in Australia.

George Maddox died on 7 July 1867 in Melbourne, Victoria at the age of 56.
