Jim Jarvis (born March 3, 1943 in Roseburg, Oregon) is a retired American basketball player. A point guard, Jarvis played collegiately at Oregon State University, where he helped the Beavers win the NCAA West Regional championship in 1963 and earn their first Final Four appearance.
He was drafted by the San Francisco Warriors of the National Basketball Association with the first pick of the sixth round (45th overall) of the 1965 NBA Draft.
Jarvis never played in the NBA, but did spend three seasons in the ABA as a member of the Pittsburgh Pipers, Minnesota Pipers, and Los Angeles Stars. He was a member of the 1967-68 Pittsburgh Pipers team that won the 1968 ABA Championship.
In 1971, Jarvis was hired as the head basketball coach at Spokane Falls Community College in Spokane. After three seasons, he was hired by the University of Idaho, who had finished no higher than sixth place in the Big Sky for three seasons. He was succeeded by Don Monson, who had significantly greater success, taking the Vandals to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 1982.
