George Spencer Payne (25 March 1850 – 17 July 1892) was an English cricketer. He was born at East Grinstead, Sussex.

Payne made a single first-class appearance for Sussex against Kent in 1869 at the Higher Common Ground, Tunbridge Wells.[1] Kent won the toss and elected to bat first, making 116 all out. In response, Sussex made 152 all out in their first-innings, with Payne being run out during it for a duck. Kent then made an improved 304 all out in their second-innings, during which Payne bowled four wicketless overs, to set Sussex 268 for victory. However, Sussex failed in their chase and were dismissed for just 118, with Payne being dismissed for 4 runs by George Bennett.[2] This was his only major appearance for Sussex.

He died at the town of his birth on 25 June 1892.
