James T. Tebbs (May 1878 – after 1901) was an English professional footballer who made 37 appearances in the Football League playing for Loughborough and Small Heath. He played as an outside left.[1]

Tebbs was born in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. He played in the Second Division for Loughborough, and was the club's leading scorer – with only 4 goals out of the 18 they scored – in the 1899–1900 season, Loughborough's last in the Football League.[2][3] He then joined Small Heath, but the form of Sid Wharton restricted Tebbs to four appearances in two years, and he then returned to Leicestershire to play non-league football for Leicester United.[2]
