James Michael Apsley Turner, OAM (born 22 May 1996) is an Australian Paralympic athlete and soccer player with cerebral palsy.

Turner played 7-a-side soccer as a midfielder for New South Wales starting in 2009, and for the Australian national 7-a-side team, the Pararoos, in 2012.

The head coach of the Pararoos, Paul Brown, said that "James has pace to burn and he gets forward on the overlap to worry defenders in their third.

[5] Unfortunately for the Pararoos, ranked tenth in the world, in July 2014 the Australian Sports Commission cut funding for the 7-a-side soccer program on the grounds that the team was unlikely to make the 2016 Summer Paralympics.

[8] Turner started with Forster-Tuncurry Athletics club as an eight-year-old and at the age of 15 joined the Hunter Academy of Sport AWD middle-distance running program.

[4][10] In August 2016, it was announced that had been selected to represent Australia at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro in the 800m event.

[14][15][16] After the London 2017 World Para-Athletics Championships, Turner moved to Canberra to be coached by Iryna Dvoskina at the Australian Institute Of Sport.

[21] In the lead up the 2024 Paralympics, he won the silver medal in the Men's 400m T36 at the 2024 World Para Athletics Championships, in Kobe, Japan.
