George Ritchie (16 April 1848 - 31 January 1896) was a Scottish international rugby union player who played for Merchistons in Edinburgh.

Born in Edinburgh in 1848, Ritchie played as a Forward.

Ritchie played in the first ever rugby union international match for Scotland against England in 27 March 1871[1] at Raeburn Place, Edinburgh.[2]

In the match, he almost scored the first ever international try. He went over the try-line but a clutch of bodies were on top of him. An Englishman claimed to have control of the ball and the umpire decided it was Scotland's hack off 5 yards from the line. Scotland then scored a try and goal from the resultant set-piece; the try coming from Angus Buchanan.[3]

It was Ritchie's only international appearance for Scotland and he always maintained that he scored a perfectly good try, throughout the rest of his life.[4] He died in Kelso, Scotland in 1896.
