Sir George Alan Thomas, 7th Baronet (14 June 1881 – 23 July 1972) was a British badminton, tennis and chess player.
He was twice British Chess Champion and a 21-time All-England Badminton champion.
He also reached the quarterfinals of the singles and the semifinals of the men's tennis doubles at Wimbledon in 1911.
Badminton's world men's team championships cup, equivalent to tennis' Davis Cup, is named Thomas Cup after him.
Thomas lived most of his life in London and Godalming.
He never married, so the hereditary Thomas baronetcy ended on his death.
Thomas was admired for his fine sportsmanship.
