George Cull (3 March 1856 — 9 May 1898) was an English first-class cricketer.

Cull was born at Lymington in March 1856. A club cricketer for Ringwood Cricket Club,[1] he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Hampshire in 1877, against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's and Derbyshire at Southampton.[2] He scored 14 runs in his two matches, with a highest score of 7.[3] Although he was a wicket-keeper at club level, in his two matches for Hampshire, Hector Hyslop was preferred as wicket-keeper. Cull spent the final twenty years of his life working as a postman on the Isle of Wight, where he died at Sandown in May 1898.[4]
