James Alfred Standen (born 30 May 1935 in Edmonton, London) is an English former footballer, playing as goalkeeper, and cricketer.
Jim Standen started his footballing career at Arsenal, joining the side in 1953. His appearances at Arsenal were limited, first by National Service and then by the presence of Wales international Jack Kelsey. He finally made his debut for Arsenal against Burnley on 7 December 1957, and deputised for Kelsey when he was injured in the 1958–59 season; upon Kelsey's return the two goalkeepers shared the spot for 1959–60. However, Kelsey regained the number one jersey outright at the start of 1960–61 and Standen left Arsenal for Luton Town in October 1960. He made 38 appearances for Arsenal in all.
At Luton, Standen was forced to understudy again, this time for England's Ron Baynham. Standen joined east London club, West Ham United as an emergency signing after their regular keeper Lawrie Leslie suffered a broken leg in 1962. He became a big hit at Upton Park and went on to make 179 league and 57 cup appearances for the club, winning the 1963–64 FA Cup and the 1964–65 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup with them.
