Geoffrey Michael Petrie (born April 17 1948, in Darby, Pennsylvania) is the Sacramento Kings' President of Basketball Operations and a former NBA player for the Portland Trail Blazers.

At 6'4" he could play either guard or forward positions and was a deadly long range shooter in an era devoid of the three-point line. He played in two All-Star games and in 1971, the Blazers' first year in existence, was named co-Rookie of the Year with the Boston Celtics' Dave Cowens after averaging 24.8 points per game. Until Damon Stoudamire's 54 point performance in 2005, Petrie held the Blazers' individual scoring record for one game at 51 — a feat he accomplished twice. His jersey number, 45, was retired by the Blazers.

As an executive he has won the NBA Executive of the Year Award twice with the Sacramento Kings. He attended Springfield High School, in Springfield, Pennsylvania, and played collegiate ball at Princeton University.
