George William Darby (February 5, 1869 – February 25, 1937) was a professional baseball player. He was a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds of the National League in 1893.
Darby pitched what would be his final Major League game on May 19, 1893. In the words of The Cincinnati Post, he was "simply slaughtered" by the Cleveland Spiders who "took kindly to his pitching." He was notified of his release within two days.
Darby continued to pitch in the minors through the 1898 season. While pitching for the Spokane team in the Pacific Northwest League in May 1898, Darby threw a perfect game.
