George Allister Souza Sr. (7 January 1917 to 27 March 1983) was a Hong Kong international lawn bowler. Born in Hong Kong to Portuguese parents, he also represented Hong Kong at cricket between 1953 and 1961. His main bowls achievement was a gold medal in the fours at the 1970 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, where he bowled alongside Abdul Kitchell, Saco Delgado and Roberto da Silva. By trade he worked for the electric company in Hong Kong. His son, George Souza Jr., went on to become a world bowls champion, so the family name is linked to two generations of success in the sport. He died in Hong Kong at the age of 66.
