Geoffrey Douglas Madge (born 3 October 1941) is an Australian classical pianist and composer.

He was the first to record Leopold Godowsky's Studies on Chopin's Études, once described as "the most impossibly difficult things ever written for the piano".

He has given six complete performances of Sorabji's Opus clavicembalisticum,[2] one of the longest and most difficult works ever written for the piano.

[3] In 1979, he gave the first complete performance of Nikos Skalkottas's 32 Piano Pieces.
