George Ernest Tyldesley (5 February 1889 – 5 May 1962) was an English cricketer. The younger brother of Johnny Tyldesley and the leading batsman for Lancashire. He remains Lancashire's most prolific run-getter of all time, and is one of only a few batsmen to have scored 100 centuries in the first-class game.

In Test cricket, Tyldesley went on the 1928/29 Ashes Tour, where he played in one Test. He also played in four Ashes matches in England, out of his 14 Tests overall, which included three centuries.
