Geoff Moriarty (28 October 1871 – 29 October 1948)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy from the inaugural Victorian Football League season in 1897.
The father of Fitzroy full-forward Jack Moriarty, Geoff played at the opposite end of the ground and was a premiership winning fullback with the Maroons. He was a member of Fitzroy premiership sides in 1899 and 1905, also playing in their losing Grand Finals in 1900 and 1906.
In 1911 he became Fitzroy's first ever official coach, with the club finishing fifth on both of his two seasons in charge.
