James Lindsay (born c. 1870) was a footballer who played at inside-forward or centre-forward.

Lindsay played for East Ham side Anchor and turned out for Millwall during 1893–94.[1] He played for Old Castle Swifts until 1895, before transferring to the newly formed Thames Ironworks for the 1895–96 season.[2] He played in a number of games for the club, probably including their first ever fixture against Royal Ordnance.[3] He played in the club's first FA Cup game, against Chatham Town on 12 October 1895.[4] He also played for the Ironworks in the final of the West Ham Charity Cup that season, although by this point he had moved to South West Ham and played as a guest.[5]
