George William Hall (March 29, 1849–June 11, 1923) was a professional baseball player who played in the National Association and later the National League. Born in Stepney, England, Hall later immigrated to the U.S. He made his professional debut May 5, 1871.

Hall played for the following teams:

Washington Olympics (1871)
Baltimore Canaries (1872–1873)
Boston Red Stockings (1874)
Philadelphia Athletics (1875–1876)
Louisville Grays (1877)

He was banned from the game for life after the Louisville Grays Scandal of 1877, major league baseball's first gambling scandal. Hall and two other players on his team were implicated by some telegrams. (A fourth player who refused to cooperate with the investigation was also banned.)
