Tom James (born 17 April 1987 in Rhymney) is a Welsh former professional rugby union player.
His rise through Welsh rugby continued and during the 2006–07 season he joined the Wales Sevens team for a number of games. Following the 2006–07 season he was called up to the Welsh national squad for the summer tour of Australia, although he did not play a game on the tour.
After turning to rugby, he joined Merthyr RFC on the wing. After a successful year at Merthyr James joined Cardiff RFC at the start of the 2006–07 season. James scored 11 tries in just nine games to open the season which brought him to the attention of the first fifteen, with whom he had an academy contract. He was immediately put into the 22 man squad for the Cardiff Blues trip to Edinburgh in the Celtic League. He came off the bench mid way through the second half and within minutes had marked his professional debut with a try.
James was top try scorer in the Magners League in the 2007–08 season.
During the build up to the 2007 Rugby World Cup he was a part of the National Team’s 40 man squad and made his debut for his country against England in August 2007. When the 40 man squad was cut to 30 at the end of August James was out and he returned to Cardiff Blues for the Magners League season. A slight knock kept him out of the first few games of the 2007–08 season. He came back shortly after the start, firstly playing a game for Cardiff RFC before starting the Blues away game against Munster in which he scored two tries. The following week he started again at home against Connacht and scored two more tries late on helping the Blues to a bonus point win.
James missed the first nine weeks of this season due to a groin injury. He scored a try in the final of the EDF Energy Cup at Twickenham on 18 April 2009 against Gloucester. He also scored the try that lead Cardiff to draw 26–26 in the Heineken Cup Semi-Final. On 18 January 2010 he was named in the 35 man Wales national Squad for the 2010 Six Nations tournament.

After being released by the Blues at the end of the 2018-19 season, James signed for rival Welsh region the Scarlets . Towards the end of his second stint at the Blues, James revealed in an interview that he had been suffering from clinical depression which had caused him to miss a number of games.
After a single season with the Scarlets during which injuries limited him to only two competitive appearences, James announced his retirement from professional Rugby at the end of the 2019-20 season. As of 2020 he remains the Blues’ record try-scorer, with 60 tries scored.
