Geoffrey Alan Cope (born February 23, 1947, Burmantofts, Yorkshire) is a former English cricketer.
He played first-class cricket for Yorkshire. He was twice forced to remodel his bowling action after he was suspended in 1972 and again in 1978.
He was selected to play for England in the tour to Pakistan in 1977-78, playing in all 3 of the Tests, at Lahore, Hyderabad, and Karachi, and 2 of the One-day Internationals, at Sialkot and Lahore, missing the first ODI at Sahiwal. He failed to shine in any match, but nearly took a hat-trick on debut: he dismissed Abdul Qadir leg before wicket, then bowled Sarfraz Nawaz first ball. The next batsman, Iqbal Qasim, was caught at slip by Mike Brearley. Despite the umpire giving him out, Brearley was not sure whether he had taken the catch cleanly and called him back to the crease.
