Walter George Parkinson (30 March 1892 – 11 September 1959) was an Australian rules footballer who played in the VFL between 1919 and 1921 for the Richmond Football Club.
Between 1900 and 1940 the Goulburn Valley Football League matches were played on a Wednesday afternoon and some of the better players who were based in and around the Shepparton and Kyabram area would also play VFL football on a Saturday, which Parkinson did from 1919 to 1921.
