James Robb, Jr. (1878 – 24 July 1949) was a Scottish amateur golfer who played in the late 19th and early 20th century.

James and Tom Robb won the Glasgow Evening Times foursomes tournament in September 1895, representing St Andrews Thistle.

He has not got quite the length of some players with his wooden clubs, but any small deficiency in this respect is more than redressed by the deadly sureness of his short game.

He hits the ball absolutely truly, and it runs to the hole in that smooth manner which terrifies the opponent and delights the striker, for each knows that the ball is going to have a good chance of going into the hole.” Robb's style of play was further described as one that employed "a great deal of supple wrist work in the address, a quick round swing, and a fine finish.

"[5] The afternoon round of the 1906 Amateur Championship final at Royal Liverpool Golf Club was going along normally until the two finalists reached the 6th hole.

Dead against a strong wind Mr. Lingen drove out of bounds, dropped another onto a bad lie on the tee, got a poor third, topped his fourth, and sliced his fifth into a bunker.

"[6] The Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser reported that the play at the hole "was the worst exhibition of golf that has probably ever been seen in a great match.
