This is a list of notable Old Geelong Grammarians, they being notable former students - known as "Old Geelong Grammarians" of the Anglican Church school, Geelong Grammar School and old girls of The Hermitage and Clyde School in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.

In 2001, The Sun-Herald ranked Geelong Grammar School fourth in Australia's top ten schools for boys, based on the number of its male alumni mentioned in the Who's Who in Australia (a listing of notable Australians).[1]
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.
