George Stuart Boyes (31 March 1899 – 11 February 1973) was an English first-class cricketer, born in Southampton, who played for Hampshire County Cricket Club.

Boyes was a slow left-arm bowler with a high action, taking 1415 wickets for Hampshire. He took 100 wickets in a season three times, his best year being 111 at 26.75 in 1933. He twice took a hattrick, one of them when he took his career best figures of 9 for 57 against Somerset at Yeovil in 1938. With the bat he took 413 matches before making his maiden century, only three players in history have waited longer.[1] He was an excellent close fielder and took 498 catches in first-class matches, many of them at short-leg.[2]

His major overseas tour was with the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to India and Ceylon in 1926/7. He took 56 wickets at 18.69 including 7-52 against a Europeans in the East XI at Eden Gardens, Calcutta.[3][4]

His brother Ken was a professional footballer with Southampton and Bristol Rovers, as well as a member of Hampshire's ground staff.[5]
