**George William Athol Sharp** (1 April 1894 – 19 April 1969)[1] was an [Australian rules footballer](/source/Australian_rules_football) who played with [Carlton](/source/Carlton_Football_Club) in the [Victorian Football League](/source/Australian_Football_League) (VFL).

Sharp, a forward, was recruited by Carlton from Moonee Ponds.[2] He missed out on playing in Carlton's 1914 premiership team through injury but was a [forward pocket](/source/Forward_pocket) and second rover in their [1915 VFL Grand Final](/source/1915_VFL_Grand_Final) winning side.[3] In 1916 he missed another grand final, with a broken collarbone, but Carlton would lose on that occasion.

He served his country during the war and then returned to Carlton for one final season in 1920.[3][4]
