George Hazlett (10 March 1923 – 22 December 2012) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as an outside-forward. Born in Glasgow, he began his career with local youth sides before appearing as a guest player for Plymouth Argyle and Celtic during the Second World War while serving in the Royal Navy. After the war, he joined Celtic permanently where he remained for two seasons.
He joined Belfast Celtic in 1948. He played in the club's final season before it resigned from the Irish League following an incident when its players were attacked by supporters of a rival team. After touring the United States in Belfast Celtic's last matches, he moved to Football League side Bury where he made over 100 appearances for the club in a three-year spell. He spent one season with Cardiff City prior to joining Millwall in 1953. He made more than 130 league appearances for Millwall before moving into non-league football.
