James William Jordan (January 13, 1908 – December 4, 1957) was an American baseball player whose career in the major leagues lasted from April 20, 1933 to September 27, 1936.

A native of the South Carolina settlement of Tucapau, a part of the Startex-Tucapau census-designated place in Spartanburg County, Jordan was a 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m), right-handed batter and pitcher who began his career in the minors with the home county South Atlantic League team in 1926. He subsequently played for Topeka, Dayton, Houston, Greensboro, Rochester and Jersey City before spending four seasons with the Brooklyn Dodgers as a second baseman and shortstop.[1][2][3] Following his stint with the Dodgers, he served as a manager of the Hutchinson Pirates and London Pirates.

Jimmy Jordan died at his home in Charlotte, North Carolina five-and-a-half weeks before his 50th birthday.[4]
