George Henry Pitts (date of birth unknown 1847) was an English cricketer. Pitts' batting style is assumed to be left-handed.

Pitts made a single appearance in first-class cricket for a team of left-handed players in the Left-Handed v Right-Handed fixture of 1835 at Lord's Cricket Ground.[1] In a match which the Right-Handed won by an innings and 87 runs, Pitts opened the batting, with him being dismissed for 4 runs in the Left-Handed first-innings by William Lillywhite, while in their second-innings he is oddly recorded as not out having scored a single run opening the batting in the teams total of 52 all out.[2]

He died at Kensington, London sometime in 1847.
