James Bowling Mozley (September 15, 1813 - January 4, 1878) was an English theologian.

He was born at Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, and was educated at Oriel College, Oxford.

Mozley was elected to a fellowship at Magdalen in 1840. He took an active part in the Oxford Movement, but could no more follow Newman into the Roman communion "than fly." He was joint editor of the Christian Remembrancer, but withdrew from the position because of his substantial agreement with the famous Gorham decision.

He was one of the earliest supporters of the Guardian. In 1856 he became vicar of Shoreham, in 1869 canon of Worcester, and in 1871 regius professor of divinity at Oxford. He died at Shoreham on the 4th of January 1878.
