}}

George Stuckey (6 July 1871 – 15 March 1932) was an Australian rules footballer who played with and captained the Essendon Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Stuckey played as both a wingman and half back during his career in the VFA and VFL and was the first captain of Essendon in the VFL. By leading his side to the premiership in 1897, the inaugural VFL season, he thus became the first VFL premiership captain. He remained captain until the end of the 1900 season and was a premiership player again in 1901. During his career he represented Victoria at interstate football.

A talented sportsman, in addition to his football career, Stuckey also played first class cricket for Victoria and, in 1897 (the year he captained Essendon to its first VFL premiership) he won the 130-yard Stawell Gift, in 12.2 seconds, off a handicap of 12 yards. His brother, Harry, was also a prominent cricket player for Victoria.

In 2010 Stuckey was inducted into the Essendon Hall of Fame.[1]
