George Lawrence Neal (July 27, 1880 – June 29, 1947) was an American Negro league infielder and manager between 1909 and 1911.
A native of Springfield, Illinois, Neal made his Negro leagues debut in 1909 as player-manager with the Buxton Wonders. He went on to play for the Chicago Giants and Leland Giants in 1911. A "colorful player who used to humiliate opponents by turning cartwheels around the bases instead of running," Neal died in Springfield in 1947 at age 66.
