Geoff Tunbridge (born 1932), was a Australian rules footballer for the Melbourne Football Club (the Demons). At the age of 25 Tunbridge was recruited to Melbourne from Ballarat, where he was an Old Boy, or ex-pupil, and popular teacher at Ballarat Church of England Boys Grammar School. He originally commenced his footy career for University Blues in VAFA. His jumper was no 23 and he was a left-foot flanker. He played in three premierships. Tunbridge's footy salary was the petrol from Ballarat to Melbourne (eight pence on his Volkswagen) and a hot Four'n Twenty meat pie half an hour before the game.

He currently teaches VCE chemistry at Leibler Yavneh College in Elsternwick.
