Geoffrey William Humpage (born April 24, 1954, Sparkbrook, Warwickshire) is a former English cricketer who played in 3 ODIs in 1981.

The meaty Warwickshire wicketkeeper Geoff Humpage was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1985, a popular figure throughout his career, and an Edgbaston folk hero. He played three One Day International against Australia in 1981, but managed only 11 runs. This was out of character, because Humpage could certainly bat: he had a first-class average of 36, a top score of 254, and still holds the Warwickshire batting record for the fourth wicket - a stand of 470 with Alvin Kallicharran against Lancashire at Southport in 1982. He also went on the rebel tour to South Africa in 1981-82,effectively ending his International career before it really began. Geoff Humpage is now a police constable.
