James Heath Terry (born March 16, 1981) is an American mixed martial artist currently competing in the Welterweight division of Bellator MMA.
He also works as an instructor and personal trainer at Cung Le's gym and The Quad, and is a co-captain of the USH Fight Team.

Terry made his promotional debut at Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz on April 11, 2009 against Zak Bucia and won via unanimous decision.
