George McDonald Carew (4 June 1910 - 9 December 1974) played four Tests for the West Indies between 1935 and 1948. He was a right-hand batsman from Barbados, where he ran a taxi business.

He is best remembered for his innings in the Second Test against England at Port of Spain in 1947-48, when he scored 107 in a first wicket partnership with Andy Ganteaume that put on 173 runs. Wisden reported: "Wearing a chocolate-coloured felt hat and chewing gum the whole time, Carew, in an unorthodox display, used the hook and pull freely in a dazzling exhibition." He toured India with the West Indian team later that year but played only one Test.
