Gustav Ernest "George" Schmoll (25 November 1870 – 20 October 1942) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Auckland and Wellington between 1903 and 1913.[1][2]

Schmoll played as a wicket-keeper. In January 1904, in his second first-class match, he took four catches and a stumping in the first innings, equalling the New Zealand first-class record for dismissals in an innings that was not beaten until 1964–65 (by Robin Schofield).[3]
