James DeHart (August 25, 1893 – March 4, 1935) was an American football player and coach.

In 1935, he signed a contract to become the head coach at Southwestern University—now known as Rhodes College—in Memphis, Tennessee, but fell ill and died while relocating.

Hailed as a "star", he played quarterback under head coach Pop Warner and led the 1916 team to an undefeated season.
