James 'Bucky' Mutscheller (March 31, 1930 – April 10, 2015) was an American football player who played tight end for nine seasons for the Baltimore Colts.

He then played three seasons of football at Notre Dame under coach Frank Leahy from 1949 to 1951, including on the 1949 national championship team.

Mutscheller played both defensive end and offense for the Fighting Irish, and served as team captain his senior year.

The New York Yanks drafted Mutscheller, but by the time his two-year stint in the Marines ended, the Baltimore Colts had acquired his contract.

In 1976, Mutscheller was inducted into the inaugural class of the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame.
