George Patrick Hughes (21 December 1902 in Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire – 8 May 1997) was an English tennis player.

Hughes and Fred Perry won the doubles at the French Open in 1933 and at the Australian Open in 1934. Hughes later teamed up with Raymond Tuckey. They won the doubles in Wimbledon in 1936. Between 1929 and 1936 he was member of the British Davis Cup team.

Until Andy Murray won the tournament in 2016, Hughes had been the only British man to reach the singles final at the Italian championships, capturing the title in 1931 and runner up the following year. He captured the doubles title in both those years too, when the tournament, in its infancy, was played in Milan.
