James Maloney (September 11, 1870 – January 28, 1960) was an American labor union leader.
Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Maloney began working in a glass bottle factory at the age of eight.
When he took over as leader of the union, it was struggling to continue after heavy job losses due to alcohol prohibition.
He worked with leaders of the brewery and distillery unions to campaign for the repeal of prohibition, and once this took place, the GBBA's membership grew from 2,000 to 34,000.
He was also a founder of the Union Labor Life Insurance Company, and served for a time as its treasurer.
