James "Jamie" Murphy (born February 25, 1973 in Manchester) is an English professional footballer. He plays as a left-back.

Murphy began his career at Blackpool in 1990, where he was mainly a deputy to Mitch Cook. In five years at Bloomfield Road, the defender made 55 league appearances and scored one goal. He appeared as a substitute for Mike Davies in Blackpool's Division Four play-off final victory against Scunthorpe United on May 23, 1992, at Wembley.

In 1995, Murphy was released by Seasiders' manager Sam Allardyce. He joined Doncaster Rovers, with whom he remained for two years.

His next stop was Cambridge United. He signed a rolling contract with the U's, but left the club after only three months.

In November 1997, Murphy signed for Halifax Town. He made 25 appearances and scored one goals for the Shaymen in three years.

Murphy returned to Lancashire in 2000 to join Morecambe, where he played alongside ex-Blackpool teammate Steve McIlhargey. He left the Shrimps in 2004 and finished his career with Lancaster City.
