George Henry Abbott (born August 3, 1911) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who played in one National Hockey League game for the Boston Bruins during the 1943–44 NHL season.

Abbott was the practise goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs as well as a Minister. He played for the Dunnville Mudcats before his career ended during a practise session with the Hamilton Tigers when a deflected puck struck him in the eye. On November 27, 1943, the Maple Leafs were due to play the Boston Bruins where the Bruins' starting goaltender Bert Gardiner suffered from illness and couldn't play. Bruins coach Art Ross borrowed Abbott to play for the night. Toronto went on to win the game 7-3 as Abbott took 52 shots and Abbott was even knocked out for a few minutes by a shot from Babe Pratt.
