George Cyril Learmond (4 July 1875 – 2 March 1918) was a West Indian cricketer who toured with both of the first two touring sides to England in 1900 and 1906.
Born on 4 July 1875 in Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana, Learmond made his debut in important matches for Barbados against Slade Lucas's team in 1894–95 scoring an impressive 86 in his second match. The next season, he made his debut in the Inter-Colonial Tournament for Barbados scoring 59.
From 1896–97 he played for British Guiana making his debut against Jamaica and later that season played against Lord Hawke's team.
He was described before the 1900 tour as "(Demerara) Twenty four years of age. Learned his cricket in Barbados. Splendid bat, rapid run-getter, with sound defence. Good wicket-keeper, and excellent field anywhere. Average for G.C.C. last year, 60.2". However he proved "quite a failure". He scored 52 against the Gentlemen of the M.C.C. at Lord's but ended the tour with a batting average of only 9.10.
Returning from the 1900 tour to England he then played for Trinidad and was chosen for the combined West Indies team against Bennett's side in 1901–02 and Lord Brackley's team in 1904–05 with little success. He made his only first class century for Trinidad against a weak Jamaica side in 1905–06.
