George Niven (11 June 1929 – 17 July 2008) was a Scottish footballer who played during the 1950s and 1960s as a goalkeeper for Rangers and Partick Thistle.
Niven was signed to Rangers from junior side Coupar Angus in 1951 by manager Bill Struth.
He lost his place as number one when old rival from Rangers, Billy Ritchie, joined Thistle.
After not featuring in the first team all season (his last game coming in a 0–0 draw at Airdrie in April 1968), he left in the summer of 1969.
