Geno Washington (Born William Francis Washington, December 1943 - ) is a British R&B musician born in Evansville, Indiana, released five albums with The Ram Jam Band between 1966 and 1969, and eight solo albums beginning in 1976. He is also the man who in 1984 met Ian Brown at a birthday party in Manchester, telling young Brown that he was a star who should begin singing. Brown went on to form The Stone Roses, the legendary British guitar band, and have a successful, critically acclaimed solo career.

Geno Washington is the "Geno" of Dexys Midnight Runners' eponymous 1980 single, and is not to be confused with Gino Washington, also a 1960s R&B singer who had a number of local hit songs in his home base of Detroit during that time.
