George Maddox (born 1811 in Ireland), was an Australian cricket player, who played four games for Tasmania.
He has the distinction of having participated in the first ever first class cricket match in Australia. Maddox's catch to dismiss the Victorian batsman W. Philpott for 17, off the bowling of Robert McDowell was the first-ever catch in first-class cricket in Australia.
George Maddox died on July 7, 1867, in Melbourne, Victoria, at the age of 56.
