George Reginald Thomas (6 July 1909 – 5 December 1966) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Thomas crossed to Williamstown in the VFA in 1938 without a clearance from the Swans where he was captain-coach of the Seconds. Thomas was vice-captain of the 1939 Williamstown premiership side and went on to play 63 games and kick 119 goals with 'Town from 1938 up until the end of 1941, although a broken foot and war-related employment restricted Thomas to just 5 games in his last season. He was awarded the most effective player trophy and best attendance at training in 1938, and was the most improved player in 1940.
