James Ian McDowall (born 9 December 1947) is a former English cricketer. McDowall was a right-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire, and was educated at Rugby School.

While studying at the University of Cambridge, McDowall made his first-class debut Cambridge University against Nottinghamshire at Fenner's in 1969. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge University in 1969 and 1970, making a total of seventeen first-class appearances, the last of which came against Warwickshire.[1] In his seventeen matches, he scored a total of 446 runs at an average of 14.86, with a high score of 62.[2] This score was his only half century for the university and came against Leicestershire in 1969.[3] He also took 26 catches and made a single stumping. He gained a Blue in cricket during his time at Cambridge.

It was also in 1969 that he made his debut for Warwickshire in a first-class match against Somerset in the County Championship at Clarence Park, Weston-super-Mare.[1] He made eleven further first-class appearances for Warwickshire, the last of which came against Lancashire in the 1973 County Championship.[1] In his twelve first-class appearances for the county, he scored 365 runs at an average of 20.27, with a high score of 89.[2] This score was his only half century for Warwickshire and came against Oxford University in 1973.[4] He also took 24 catches and made 2 stumpings. McDowall also made two List A appearances for Warwickshire in the 1973 John Player League against Middlesex and Somerset.[5] The presence of first choice wicket-keeper Alan Smith in the Warwickshire side limited his appearances in the first eleven. He left Warwickshire at the end of the 1974 season.
