James Henry Digby "Bungy"[needs IPA] Watson (31 August 1890 – 15 October 1914) was an English rugby union player.

He was killed while serving as a surgeon aboard HMS Hawke when it was torpedoed and sunk by U-9 in 1914 during World War I, and is commemorated on the Chatham Naval Memorial.

There he earned his nickname "Bungy" after using the King's Canterbury term for a rubber, which was unknown at the Academy.

[1] At the start of the World War I, Watson was appointed Surgeon in the Royal Navy aboard HMS Hawke.

The ship was part of the Northern Patrol, and on 15 October 1914, Hawke and HMS Theseus were patrolling in the North Sea, 60 miles off Aberdeen when a torpedo launched by the German submarine U-9 struck the Hawke amidships.
