Maurice Gerald Flitcroft (23 November 1929 – 24 March 2007) was a British golfer.

Flitcroft received widespread attention after, being an inexperienced amateur, shooting a score of 121 in the qualifying competition for the 1976 Open Championship, the worst score recorded at the Open Championship by a self-professed "professional golfer". Subsequently, he gained significant media coverage as "the world's worst golfer".
