Jim Leverton (born 6 June 1946, Dover, Kent, England) is an English professional musician, with a career spanning nearly fifty years, including as a sidesman to the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Noel Redding, Steve Marriott, Blodwyn Pig and the Canterbury scene band Caravan.

Redding left the band to join the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but The Loving Kind continued for a while and Leverton worked as a session musician with Tom Jones, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Engelbert Humperdinck.

When Redding formed his new band Fat Mattress (1968–70) he was reunited with Leverton[3] alongside Neil Landon (vocals) and Eric Dillon (drums).

He also gigged with singer Frankie Miller before joining Savoy Brown (1974) touring the States and releasing the album Boogie Brothers.

He also plays bass with Rocky and the Natives[13] alongside Andy Newmark (drums), Chris Godden (guitar), Malcolm Barnard (vocals) and Geoffrey Richardson (violin) and produced their debut album Let’s Hear it for the Old Guys in 2013.
