James Harper (born 9 November 1980 in Chelmsford) is an English footballer playing centre midfield professionally for Reading.

Harper previously played for Arsenal and Cardiff City, he rejected the chance to go to the 2006 FIFA World Cup with Ghana, saying: "I've never even been to Ghana." He would have qualified to play for Ghana because his mother was born there[1].

He scored his first goals in the Premiership for Reading in a clash with Newcastle United at St James' Park, scoring twice despite losing 3-2[2].
