James Walker (born 25 November 1987 in Hackney, London) is an English footballer playing for Southend United having signed from Charlton Athletic. He has loan spells with Hartlepool United, Bristol Rovers, Leyton Orient, Notts County and Yeovil Town. He is a former England under-18 international.

Walker was released by Charlton in 2006, but was invited back on a trial by new manager Iain Dowie during pre-season, and he impressed by scoring against Millwall, Germinal Beerschot and twice against Hibernian, earning a new one-year contract.

On November 23, 2006 Walker joined Leyton Orient on a two-month loan deal. He scored with his final touch for the club in a 5–2 away win against Millwall on 20 February 2007. He joined Notts County on loan in March 2007 and later joined Yeovil Town on a three-month loan in October 2007.

After returning in January 2008, he was close to joining another League One side, Southend United, for £200,000.[1] However, the move was cancelled after he failed a medical.[2] The following month he was signed on loan by Southend[3] and scored on his debut against Bournemouth.
