James Turner (born 2 July 1965) is a former professional tennis player from England who competed for Great Britain.^[1]

Turner and partner Andrew Castle were doubles semi-finalists at the 1986 Bristol Open.^[2] He also made the second round of the singles draw, after beating Steve Shaw.^[2]

In the 1988 Stella Artois Championships, held at the Queen's Club in London, Turner had an upset win over world number 23 Slobodan Živojinović.^[2] Turner was the world's 742nd ranked player at the time.^[3] He was eliminated in the second round by Broderick Dyke.^[2]

Turner made his Grand Slam singles debut at the 1989 Wimbledon Championships, having received a wild card.^[2] Although the opening round match went to five sets, Czech player Karel Nováček defeated Turner.^[2] His only other singles appearance in Wimbledon, the following year, would also result in a first-round exit, to Guillaume Raoux.^[2]

He however never failed to get past the first round of the men's doubles at Wimbledon, in his four appearances at the tournament.^[2] In the 1989 he partnered Stephen Botfield and the pair defeated sixth seeds Paul Annacone and Christo van Rensburg.^[2] He also teamed up with Botfield at the 1990 Wimbledon Championships, where they made the round of 16.^[2] Their two wins both came in five set matches but when they were knocked out of the draw by Stefan Kruger and Greg Van Emburgh, it was in straight sets.^[2]
