George Oldner (dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played in first-class cricket for London Cricket Club during the 1730s.

Career

In June 1736, George Oldner and Wakeland played in a single wicket match for London against two "famous" Richmond players who are "esteemed the best two in England".[1]

As Oldner had established his reputation by 1736, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1720s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Oldner.
