James Reubin Tabor (November 5, 1916 – August 22, 1953), nicknamed "Rawhide", was an American Major League Baseball player, a third baseman for the Boston Red Sox (1938–44) and Philadelphia Phillies (1946–47).

Born in New Hope, Alabama, he batted and threw right-handed, stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 175 pounds (79 kg).

He came to the Red Sox late in 1938 after two stellar minor league seasons and hit .316 (18-for-57) in 19 games.

His Major League career was marked by numerous suspensions for "breaking training rules,"[2] and one teammate, Doc Cramer, alleged that Tabor would come to the ballpark still "half drunk" from his nights on the town; the Red Sox even hired private detectives to unsuccessfully try to control Tabor's behavior.

His last active seasons were spent with Los Angeles, Sacramento and Portland in the Pacific Coast League until his retirement in 1952.
