Jim Turner (August 6, 1903 - November 29, 1998) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball. From 1937 through 1945, he played for the Boston Bees (1937-1939), Cincinnati Reds (1940-1942) and New York Yankees (1942-1945).

Turner's Major League career got off to a late start, as he did not reach the big leagues until he was 33 years old. Because he worked for his family's dairy farm in the offseason, he was known as "Milkman Jim" to his fans.

Following his playing career, he went on to serve as pitching coach for the Reds and Yankees.
