James Parker Austin (born December 7, 1963) is a former baseball pitcher who played for the Milwaukee Brewers from 1991 to 1993.
Austin made his major league debut for the Milwaukee Brewers on July 4, 1991, after spending 6 seasons in the minors with the San Diego Padres and Brewers organizations. Austin had an excellent 1992 season with Milwaukee, posting a record of 5–2 with a 1.85 ERA. Shortly afterwards an arm injury derailed his major league career.
