Georgie Abrams (November 11, 1918 - June 30, 1994) was a Jewish-American boxer who once fought for the middleweight championship.

Turning professional in 1937, Abrams won his first 17 fights as a professional. He earned a shot at middleweight champion Tony Zale by defeating such contenders as Billy Soose, Teddy Yarosz, and Lou Brouillard. He met Zale in Madison Square Garden in 1941. Despite knocking Zale down in the first round he lost a fifteen-round decision. He never received another title shot and retired in 1948 after losing bouts to Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Anton Raadik.

He was inducted in to the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005.
