George Hayward Thomas Simpson-Hayward (born June 7, 1875, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, died October 2, 1936, Icomb Place, Gloucestershire) was an English cricketer who played in 5 Tests in 1910. He was educated at Malvern College.
He is notable for being the last serious exponent of underarm or lob bowling to appear regularly in first-class cricket. He played for Cambridge University (1895-97) and Worcestershire (1899-1914). He played throughout the five-Test series on matting pitches in South Africa in 1909-10 taking the first of his 23 wickets with his fifth ball. He bowled brisk off-breaks along a low trajectory with a leg-break action. He was a Cambridge Blue at both cricket and soccer.
