James Stubbings (27 April 1856 — 17 July 1912) was an English cricketer who played first class cricket for Derbyshire between 1880 and 1885.

Stubbings was born in Whitwell, Derbyshire, the son of James Stubbings, a mason, and his wife Ann. Stubbings himself became a stonemason.^[1] He was a notable performer for Whitwell Cricket Club in the 1880s with Samuel Malthouse and 'G G' Walker and all three also played for Welbeck as well as the county.^[2]

Stubbings played for Players of the North in 1877, in a scratch team for Yorkshire against the Australians in 1878 and for Derbyshire against Harrow Wanderers in the 1879 season. His debut first-class appearance for the Derbyshire side was in the 1880 season against the touring Australians, and in the same year he played county matches against Yorkshire and Lancashire taking 5-51 in the second innings. His next Derbyshire game was in the 1885 season against Lancashire. He later played matches for Derbyshire in 1892 and 1893 when Derbyshire was without first-class status.

Stubbings was a right-handed batsman and played 10 innings in 5 first class matches with a top score of 10 and an average of 3.71. He was a right-handed fast bowler and took 7 first-class wickets with an average of 20.28 and a best performance of 5-51.^[3]

Stubbings died in Huddersfield at the age of 56.

Stubbings' brother, Walter, fourteen years his junior, played one first-class match for Derbyshire.
