Brock James (born 22 October 1981 in Victoria, Australia) is an Australian rugby union player currently playing for French club La Rochelle.
James learnt to play Rugby at Old Collegians in South Australia. He represented South Australia at U12, U14 and U16's and first represented Australia in 1997 as an Under 16.
James then moved to attend The Scots College in Sydney and Sydney University, where he was a resident of St. John's College. After a few good seasons in the southern hemisphere, he joined Clermont-Ferrand after Stephen Jones's departure. For his first season, he played every single game with Clermont and became top scorer of the league with 380 points. From 4 January till 28 March 2009, he scored 41 placed kicks in a row, a new record for the Top 14, the old one being Romain Teulet's 35 kicks in a row in 2004–05, and just 3 short of the World Record held by Neil Jenkins.
James has earned caps for Australia U-21 and Australia national sevens team in 2002.
James was ranked #50 in the list 'The 50 best rugby players in the world 2009' by the British newspaper 'The Independent'.
On 1 January 2016, James makes the switch for Top 14 rivals La Rochelle from the 2016-17 season.
