Dimitrios Speros "Jim" Baxes (July 5, 1928 – November 14, 1996) was a Major League Baseball player for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Indians for one season.

When the Dodgers removed Baxes from their roster on cut-down day, he considered the idea of quitting baseball.

Baxes finished with season and career totals of 17 home runs and a .246 batting average and was selected to the Topps All-Star Rookie Roster.

On April 15, 1959, he hit his first major league home run off future Hall of Famer Bob Gibson.

Jim and his wife Jeanne Yvonne Baxes (1927–2002) are buried together in Magnolia Memorial Park in Garden Grove, California.
