George James McLeod (30 November 1932 – 5 September 2016) was a Scottish professional football winger who played in the Football League for Luton Town, Brentford and Queens Park Rangers.
Born in Inverness and brought up in Brora, McLeod began his career with Highland League sides Brora Rangers and Clachnacuddin. Despite a lack of success in the league, he won the first silverware of his career in cup competitions with Clachnacuddin. He departed the club in early 1955.
McLeod moved to England to sign for Division Two high-flyers Luton Town in January 1955. He failed to make an immediate impact, making just one appearance in what remained of the 1954–55 season, in which the Hatters finished second in Division Two, claiming a place in the top-flight for the first time in the club's history. McLeod made 15 appearances and scored his first goal for the club during the 1955–56 season, before establishing himself in the team during the 1957–58 campaign, making 34 appearances and scoring four goals. He made just one appearance during the early weeks of the 1958–59 season, before departing the club in October 1958. McLeod made 51 league appearances and scored six goals during his time at Kenilworth Road.
