James Otis Crandall (October 8, 1887 – August 17, 1951) was an American right-handed pitcher and second baseman.

He was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1913, but made only two pinch-hitting appearances for them before being sold back to the Giants 13 days later.

That same year he flirted with a no-hitter in the morning game of a double-header in Los Angeles against Salt Lake City of the Pacific Coast League.

Even with his bulky frame, Crandall was a quick fielder and thus played infield positions.
