George Henry Case (4 April 1839 – 21 April 1911) was an English first-class cricketer and physician.

Case was born at Fareham in April 1839. He was a physician by profession.[1] Case played two first-class cricket matches for Hampshire in 1864. The first was against Sussex at Southampton, in what was Hampshire's inaugural first-class match.[2] He became the first Hampshire batsman to be listed as absent ill; but probably, as a doctor, he was called away in Hampshire's first innings to a medical emergency.[1] His second first-class appearance of 1864 came against Middlesex at Southampton.[2] He scored 85 runs in his two first-class matches, with a high score of 48.[3] while with the ball he bowled 10 wicketless overs.[4] He was also involved with Hampshire in an administrative capacity, serving on the club's committee.[1] His medical practice began on the Isle of Wight, where he remained until 1862. From there he returned to Fareham, later becoming the towns Medical Officer in 1874.[1] He was a member of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, having been appointed in 1860.[5] Case died at Fareham in April 1911.[6]
