James Morgan (1912 – 31 July 1944) was a Scottish footballer who played for Hamilton Academical as a goalkeeper. Born in , Ayrshire (between Dalmellington and Patna) but raised in Barrhead, he joined Accies from Arthurlie in 1932 and became an important member of the team during a period when they consistently finished in the top half of the Scottish Football League's top division. His breakthrough came when injuries to Eddie Wright then Peter Shevlin cleared a path for him to play in the 1935 Scottish Cup Final (his first-ever appearance in the competition), where he saved a penalty and made several other impressive stops, although opponents Rangers won the trophy. He was later the reserve goalkeeper for the Scottish Football League XI on two occasions. rdf:langString

He was killed in July 1944, aged 32, when his aircraft crashed in the North Atlantic Ocean off Trevose Head, Cornwall while returning from a routine patrol. He is commemorated at the Air Forces Memorial (Runnymede) and in a small plaque at the New Douglas Park stadium, along with John Thomson, a teammate who also died in the conflict (coincidentally, a day earlier in an unrelated incident).
