George Joseph LaChance (February 14, 1870 - August 18, 1932) was a first baseman who played in Major League Baseball between 1893 and 1905. LaChance was a switch-hitter and threw right-handed. He was born in Putnam, Connecticut. LaChance reached the majors in 1893, spending six years with the Brooklyn Grooms & Bridegrooms before moving to the Baltimore Orioles (1899), Cleveland Blues (1901) and Boston Americans (1902-05). He hit .300 or more five times, and from 1894 to 1899 averaged 25.67 stolen bases each year, with a career-high 37 in 1895.

While in Boston in 1903, he was a member of the first World Champion team in major league history.
