George Lockwood (born 6 December 1872, date of death unknown) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Geelong Football Club and Collingwood Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was originally from the Geelong area, but came to the VFL from the East Fremantle Football Club.

The sons of Thomas Lockwood (1821-1876), and Charlotte Lockwood (1843-1884), née Chambers (later Mrs. William Moorhouse Hardman), George Lockwood and his twin brother Edward Lockwood (1872–1953) were born at Geelong on 6 December 1872.

Football
