Geoff Ainsworth (born 27 May 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the VFL during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Originally from the University Blues, Ainsworth was used as a back pocket by Geelong over the course of his eight season career. He was a member of Geelong's losing 1967 VFL Grand Final side in what was his first year in the league. After missing all but one game of the 1971 season as he was traveling in Europe, Ainsworth went on to become club captain in 1973. He lost the captaincy role the following season and retired at the end of the year in order to concentrate on his legal career.
