James Spellissy (9 May 1896 – 24 June 1969) was an Irish hurler.
Spellissy first played hurling in his local area with the Ennis Dalcassians club.
During a successful period for the club, he was part of the Clare SHC-winning teams in 1914 and 1915.
By that stage, Spellissy was already playing for the Clare senior hurling team after impressing in a series of challenge games.
He won a Munster SHC medal in 1914, before later lining out in Clare's defeat of Laois in the 1914 All-Ireland final.
