James LeRoy Bakken (born November 2, 1940, Madison, Wisconsin) was an American football punter and placekicker for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was a four-time Pro Bowl selection, and was named to both the NFL 1960s All-Decade Team and the NFL 1970s All-Decade Team by the voters of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

In 1967, Bakken set the record for most field goals in a game with 7 (out of 9 attempts, also a record). The single-game record for field goals was later tied by Rich Karlis in 1989 and Chris Boniol in 1996.
