James Lee Paterson (born 25 September 1979) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a left back or left midfielder. He is currently assistant manager at Stenhousemuir.
He has previously played for Dundee United, Motherwell, Plymouth Argyle, Aberdeen, Shamrock Rovers, Bristol Rovers, Celtic Nation, Forfar Athletic and Dunfermline Athletic. He is a former Scotland under-21 internationalist, making nine appearances between 1997 and 2001.
Paterson began his career at Dundee United. During his time at United he was unfortunate to break his leg twice in as many years. He left Dundee United in June 2004, agreeing to end his contract a year early.
On 14 July 2004, Paterson signed for Motherwell. He scored his first goal for the club on 24 August 2004, as Motherwell won 3–0 against Greenock Morton in the Scottish League Cup.
On 1 June 2006, Paterson signed a new two-year contract at Motherwell.
On 31 January 2008, Paterson moved to Plymouth Argyle on a three and a half-year deal for an undisclosed fee, thought to be around £250,000. He scored his first goal for Pilgrims with an effort from the edge of the box against Southampton on 19 February.
On 1 February 2010, he signed for Aberdeen on loan until the end of the 2009–10 season. On 31 March 2010 Paterson returned to Plymouth Argyle as injury ended his season at Aberdeen.
