George Thomas McConnell (born 3 January 1938) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington from 1961 to 1971.

An off-spin bowler, McConnell had his best season in 1961-62, when he took 20 wickets at an average of 13.30.[1] In Wellington’s first match that season he took 3 for 13 and 6 for 41 (his best bowling figures) and made 38 (his highest score) in an innings victory over Otago.[2]

McConnell also played Hawke Cup cricket for Hutt Valley from 1960 to 1975. In 1967-68 he played a leading part in Hutt Valley's title-winning victory over Nelson, when he took 6 for 21 and 6 for 57 and, batting at number eight, made 60, the only fifty on either side in the match.[3]
