George Rayner (15 October 1863 – 20 February 1915) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in seven first-class cricket matches for Canterbury and Otago between 1884 and 1890.[1][2]

Rayner's highest first-class score was 49 not out, the highest score of the match, batting at No. 9 for Canterbury when they defeated Otago by 10 wickets in February 1887.[3] A year later, playing for Otago, he made 11 and 33, the second-highest score of the match, when Otago beat Canterbury by 103 runs.[4]

Rayner married Lizzie Lane in Ashburton in December 1892.[5] They lived in Christchurch, where he worked as a bootmaker.[6] In 1908 he became the publican of the Shades Hotel in Hereford Street, Christchurch.[7][8] He died in Christchurch in February 1915, aged 51.[2] His wife died in November 1941, survived by their daughter.[9]
