George William Tatham (24 December 1910 – 23 February 1976) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

After 23 games with Collingwood, Tatham played for Camberwell in the Victorian Football Association until being struck off the list early in the 1938 season for disciplinary reasons.[2] Camberwell refused to grant permits for the three suspended players until the next year, at which time Tatham moved to Mordialloc.[3]

Tatham later served in the Australian Army during World War II.[4]
