George Washington Elliott (born 7 January 1889 in Sunderland, England) was a football player for Middlesbrough F.C. and England during the early 20th century.
The son of a seafaring captain, following great grades at Middlesbrough High School his father wanted him to go to Cambridge University, but he was a comprehensive sportsman. Originally a boxer, he started playing for Redcar Crusaders and later helped South Bank to win the Northern League in 1908.
On 3 May 1909, he signed for Middlesbrough. He played his first few games at inside-right, but later converted to a centre-forward. He won three England caps.
He was top scorer in the Division One during the 1913-14 season with 31 goals, and (as of 1989) held the club record for most goals in a single match, with 11 for the Reserves in a 14-1 win over Houghton Rovers. He was top scorer during seven out of nine of Boro's peacetime seasons from 1910-11.
During World War I, he guested for Bradford, Fulham and Celtic.
His last appearance was against Southampton in 1924-25 after which he retired, and resumed his job as a gargo superintendent at Middlesbrough docks.
He died, aged 59, in Middlesbrough General Hospital in November 1948 and is buried in Acklam cemetery.
