James Darel Carrier (born October 26, 1940 in Warren County, Kentucky) is a former professional basketball player. A 6'3" guard from Western Kentucky University, he was selected in the 9th round of the 1964 National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft by the St. Louis Hawks. However, Carrier never played for the Hawks, joining instead the Kentucky Colonels of the rival American Basketball Association (ABA). He was a three-time ABA All-Star with the Colonels (1968, 1969, 1970), teaming with Louie Dampier to form the most explosive backcourt in the ABA; in each of the league's first three seasons, both averaged at least 20 points per game. He retired from basketball in 1972 with 7,011 career points.

Carrier's son Josh Carrier played basketball for the University of Kentucky; like his father, he was a guard.
