Godfrey Mohun Carey (17 August 1872 – 18 December 1927) was an English international rugby union player.
Born and raised in Guernsey, Carey was the son of barrister Sir Thomas Godfrey Carey, who served as both the attorney-general and bailiff of Guernsey. He attended Elizabeth College on the island until 1886, when he moved to Sherborne School, before taking up a scholarship at Exeter College, Oxford.[1]
Carey, a forward, played rugby for Oxford University, captaining future England cricket captain C. B. Fry in the first XV. He was capped five times for England and captained Somerset in 1897.[2]
Post rugby, Carey was a schoolmaster at Sherborne School.[3]
