James Cross (6 February 1862 – 22 March 1927) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 1897.

Cross was born at Leyland, Lancashire, the son of William Cross a general labourer and his wife Alice. Cross was a brick and tile maker and in 1881 was living with his parents at 35 Bradshaw Street. He joined Derbyshire in the 1897 season when the club's bowling was weakened by the absence of John Hulme. He made his first class debut against Lancashire in June when he took 4 wickets and was not out for 11 in the first innings. Against Nottinghamshire he was not out for 29 and he took 4 for 68 against Leicestershire. He closed his first class career at the end of the season after 9 matches.

Cross took 22 first class wickets at an average of 28.81 and a best performance of 4 for 68. He played 15 innings in 9 first class matches with an average of 7.45 and a top score of 29 not out.

Cross died at Great Harwood, Lancashire at the age of 65.
