Jim Tyler Laird (September 10, 1897 – August 16, 1970) was a professional American football player who played running back for the Rochester Jeffersons, the Buffalo All-Americans, the Canton Bulldogs, the Providence Steam Rollers, and the Staten Island Stapletons. In 1926, he was a player-coach for the Providence Steam Rollers. In 1921 Laird played for the New York Brickley Giants, however he is not listed as being on the team, because he played for the Giants, only when they played non-league opponents. He also played for the independent Union Quakers of Philadelphia in 1921.

Jim Laird had a son, also named James Tyler Laird, who was the chair of the psychology department at St. John's University in Collegeville, Mn, United States.

James Jr. married Geraldine Anderson of Montreal, Canada. The two raised two children. James Jr. taught for a time at the army bases in Korea.
