James R. Jude (June 7, 1928 – July 28, 2015) was an American thoracic surgeon who was one of the developers of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

While working as a resident at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in the 1950s, Jude made the discovery that manual pressure applied to the exterior of a patient's chest could restore cardiac output in the case of cardiac arrest. He later went on to promote CPR among the medical community.^[1] Jude practiced thoracic surgery in Miami.^[2] For his contributions to the development of CPR, he received the Hektoen Gold Medal from the American Medical Association with William B. Kouwenhoven and Guy Knickerbocker.^[3]
