George Reardon (24 May 1880  - 11 June 1932) was an Australian cricketer. He played one first-class match in new Zealand for Otago during the 1903–04 season.[1]

Reardon was born at Melbourne in 1880.[2] A club cricket for Dunedin Cricket Club, where he was considered "a good all-round man",[3] Reardon only made a single appearance in first-class cricket, recording a pair and bowling five wicketless overs for Otago against Canterbury at Christchurch in December 1903.[4] He "bowled well" for the provincial team in a match without first-class status against Southland during the same season,[5] and had been elected as deputy-captain of Dunedin CC for the 1903–04 season.[6]

Reardon died at Melbourne in 1932. He was aged 52.[1]
