George Parsonage (November 1880 – 22 May 1919) was an English professional football half back and manager who played in the Football League for Blackburn Rovers and Fulham. He was banned from football for life by the Football Association in 1909, but later returned to the game.
A half back, Parsonage began his senior career at local Division One side Blackburn Rovers in 1900, after joining from Oswaldtwistle Rovers. He failed to make a league appearance for the club before dropping into the Lancashire Combination to sign for Accrington Stanley.
Parsonage moved to London to sign for Southern League Division One side Brentford in 1903. He became captain of the club in the 1904–05 season and was a "tower of strength" for five seasons, before departing Griffin Park in 1908.
Parsonage returned to league football with Division Two side Fulham in 1908. He made 24 appearances and scored three goals during the 1908–09 season.
