George Alfred Young (born 3 February 1949 in Caulfield, Melbourne) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the VFL during the 1970s.
Before Young came to St Kilda he played 76 WANFL games with Subiaco as well as representing Western Australia at interstate football. His performance at the 1972 Perth Carnival had earned him All-Australian selection. He debuted for St Kilda in 1973 and played his first couple of seasons as a half forward flanker. In 1975 he played at full forward and topped the club's goalkicking every season before leaving after the 1978 season. His best tally was 70 goals in 1978, a year in which he managed a bag of 10 versus Fitzroy in their round 12 encounter.
Young also played two Sheffield Shield matches for the Western Australian cricket team in the 1972/73 Australian cricket season. He was a left-handed batsman and made a century in the second match, an innings of 125 against South Australia at the WACA Ground.
