George Stuart Boyes (31 March 1899 - 11 February 1973) was an English first class cricketer, born in Southampton, who played with Hampshire.
Boyes was a slow left-arm bowler with a high action, taking 1415 wickets for Hampshire. He twice took a hattrick, one of them when he took his career best figures of 9 for 57 against Somerset at Yeovil in 1938.
