George John Fitzgerald Ferris (born October 18, 1964 in Antigua) is a former first class cricketer who played for the Leeward Islands and Leicestershire. A right arm fast bowler, Ferris took 286 wickets at 25.71 in his career from 1982/83 until 1990. His cousin Hamish Anthony played ODI cricket for the West Indies.
He became a regular in the Leicestershire side in the late 1980s when the other overseas Leicestershire player and fellow West Indian Winston Benjamin was on duty playing for the West Indies Cricket Team. Although Ferris played cricket for the leeward Islands he was never selected by the West Indies due to the strength of the bowling attack the team had.
