William George Welsh (30 June 1908 – 12 April 1986) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Welsh, who was born in Berringa, came to Geelong from local side Geelong West.[1][2] He made five appearances for Geelong, one in the 1929 VFL season and four in 1930.[3] His 1930 season ended on a good note as he was a centre half-back in Geelong's seconds premiership.[4]
