James Francis Norris (born December 20, 1948) is a former professional baseball outfielder.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Norris graduated from Seaford High School, and was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 31st round of the 1967 MLB Draft.

Rather than turn professional, he opted to attend the University of Maryland, where he became a three-time All-ACC outfielder.

Prior to the 1980 season, he was dealt to the Texas Rangers in a multi-player trade.

He played one year with the Rangers, and retired after spending the 1981 season with Triple-A Wichita.
