George Kitchen (1876 – after 1969) was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper for various clubs in the early part of the twentieth century, including long spells at Everton and West Ham United.

After a year at Stockport, made the move up to the Football League, joining Everton in 1898 as cover for Scottish international, Willie Muir.

After a season spent in the reserves, Kitchen was transferred in the summer of 1905 to West Ham United of the Southern League, as replacement for Matt Kingsley who had been dropped following a sending-off in March.
