James "Jim" Duffy (born 27 April 1959) is a Scottish former footballer and manager, currently managing Scottish Championship club Greenock Morton.
During his playing career he played for Celtic, Greenock Morton, Dundee (three spells) and Partick Thistle.
His managerial career saw spells with Falkirk, Hibernian, Dundee (two spells - first as player-manager) and Brechin City before his current role.
Duffy also had a brief Director of Football role at Hearts and an extensive coaching career including spells in English football.
Duffy was born in Glasgow, growing up in the Maryhill area of the city where he was a childhood friend of Charlie Nicholas. Like Nicholas, Duffy began his senior career with Celtic. Duffy, however, was unable to follow his friend into the Celtic first team and moved to Greenock Morton. His career developed greatly there, and in 1985 he was named Scottish PFA Players' Player of the Year despite Morton being relegated.
He moved to Dundee, only for his career to apparently be ended by injury aged only 28. After a short spell as manager of Falkirk he made a playing comeback with Dundee before joining Partick Thistle. Duffy then returned to Dundee for a third spell in 1992 as player/assistant manager to Simon Stainrod. Duffy then succeeded Stainrod to become player-manager in the autumn of 1993.
