George Edward Claude Carroll (14 April 1908 — 21 September 1939) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Born in Thurles, Carroll played his rugby for Bective Rangers and was capped once for Ireland, as a forward against France at Belfast in 1930, having received his call up due to selector's desire to add weight to the pack.[1][2]
Carroll is a distant relation of Ireland scrum-half Peter Stringer, whose grandmother was a first cousin.[3]
