Geoffrey Parrinder (April 10, 1910 — June 16, 2005), was a professor of comparative religion at King's College London, Methodist minister, and author of over thirty books. At least one of his books, What World Religions Teach Us (1968) was considered a bestseller.

He worked as a missionary in Benin and Côte d'Ivoire for nearly two decades beginning in 1933, and became an authority on indigenous West African religions.

From 1958 until his retirement in 1977 he taught at King's College London. Among his students there was the future Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
