George Gipp (* 18. Februar 1895 in , Michigan; † 14. Dezember 1920 in South Bend, Indiana) war ein amerikanischer American-Football-Spieler. Er spielte von 1917 bis 1920 College Football für das Team der University of Notre Dame, und wurde 1920 zum ersten All-American in der Geschichte der Notre Dame Fighting Irish gewählt. Aufgrund seines frühen Todes und einer durch seinen Trainer Knute Rockne überlieferten Legende um die angeblich als letzten Wunsch geäußerten Worte „win just one for the Gipper“ ist die Erinnerung an George Gipp bis in die Gegenwart Teil der Sporttraditionen der University of Notre Dame. (de) George Gipp (February 18, 1895 – December 14, 1920), nicknamed "The Gipper", was a college football player at the University of Notre Dame under head coach Knute Rockne. Gipp was selected as Notre Dame's first Walter Camp All-American, and played several positions, particularly halfback, quarterback, and punter. Gipp died at age 25 of a streptococcal throat infection and pneumonia, three weeks after a victory over Northwestern in his senior season, and was the subject of Rockne's "Win just one for the Gipper" speech. In the 1940 film Knute Rockne, All American, he was portrayed by Ronald Reagan.
