George Smeaton (27 May 1917 – 9 June 1978) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Richmond Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) between 1935 and 1942 and then again from 1944 to 1946. Smeaton was nicknamed the "Brown Bomber", a nickname borrowed from Joe Louis, and was described by Jack Dyer as the toughest player he played with. He left Richmond in 1947 to take up a coaching position with Latrobe in Northern Tasmania. He was also an established cricketer, captaining the Victorian school boys cricket team.
