Jim Culhane (born March 13, 1965) is a Canadian retired ice hockey defenceman.
Culhane coached the Western Michigan Broncos men's ice hockey team from 1999 to 2010.
In 1993 he returned to his alma mater and served as an assistant under Bill Wilkinson until the latter was fired in the midst of an investigation into the program after two players were arrested at a team party.
Over the course of his 11 full seasons Culhane could only get the Broncos out of the CCHA first round only twice and lost all four quarterfinal games his team played in.
Western Michigan announced that they were firing Culhane in February 2010 but allowed the coach to finish out the season.
