George Claridge (21 May 1794 – 27 August 1856) was an English lawyer who played first-class cricket in the early 19th century.
He was a barrister at the Middle Temple, knighted in 1825 and served as the first Recorder of Prince of Wales Island, an area of the Straits Settlements covering Penang, Singapore and Malacca.
[2][4] Claridge played club cricket for variety of sides in London and Kent.
[1][3] In later life Claridge used a wheelchair as a result of partial paralysis, but continued to organise and attend cricket matches, particularly at Sevenoaks Vine.
He lived in London for a time, with a residence on Great Marlborough Street in 1841, but owned property at Godden Green near Sevenoaks.
