James Blair (11 May 1888 – 28 February 1964) was a Scottish international footballer, probably most well known for playing in the 1925 FA Cup Final for Cardiff City.

[4] Blair had played for Scottish junior sides Bonnybridge Thistle and Ashfield before being signed by Clyde in 1908.

Soon after joining the club he was involved in a motorcycle crash that kept him out of the team for a long period and he had made just twenty appearances following his recovery when the Football League was suspended due to the outbreak of World War I.

He made his debut in a 4–2 win over Blackpool and went on to establish himself in Cardiff's first team during his six years at Ninian Park.

In 1925 Blair was on the losing side in the FA Cup final against Sheffield United following Fred Tunstall's goal.
