James Bryce Bennett (28 May 1891 – 24 October 1955) was a Scottish amateur footballer who played as an outside forward in the Scottish League for Queen's Park.

Personal life 
Bennett's older brother Alec was also a footballer who won League championships with both Celtic and Rangers, and was a Scottish international. Their father Robert was a master draper and amateur poet of some local esteem whose portrait is on display in a Hamilton museum.

In November 1914, three months after Britain's entry into the First World War, Bennett enlisted in the Highland Light Infantry. While holding the rank of sergeant, he received a gunshot wound to the back on 15 July 1916, but survived. He later worked as a textile manufacturer and died of stomach cancer in 1955, age 64.
