George Patrick Maxwell Blackmore (October 8, 1908 – January 29, 1984) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. He was born in Gillingham, educated at Blundell's School and died in Isleworth.

Blackmore played one first-class match for the Europeans in the Bombay Pentangular Tournament of 1944/45, scoring 8 in his only innings. He played a single Minor Counties Championship match for Kent over three and a half years later, followed by two appearances in the County Championship in the 1948 season at the advanced age of thirty-nine. In the two innings in which he batted, he scored only four runs, and though he also took two wickets he was dropped from the team.
