James Kerr Fuller (born 24 January 1990) is a New Zealand cricketer who has joined Middlesex for the 2016 season.

A right-arm fast bowler who played in the New Zealand U-19 cricket team, and made his first class cricket debut for Otago in March 2010. He moved to England in 2011 to play for Gloucestershire after signing a 3-year contract in August 2010 as an English passport holder.[1] Although he was offerred another deal at Gloucestershire, he moved to Middlesex at the end of the 2015 season.[2]

In the quarter final of the 2012 Friends Life t20 tournament against Sussex, Fuller conceded 38 runs from one over to fellow Kiwi Scott Styris.[3][4] On 20 January 2013 Fuller took 4/24 for Otago to win the 2012–13 HRV Cup 2012/13 against Wellington Firebirds. Less than a week later he inflicted similar destruction upon Wellington, this time in the Plunket Shield, he took 4/55 in the first innings followed by 6/24 in the second as Otago won by an innings and 290 runs. In July 2013 he took a first-class hat-trick for Gloucestershire v Worcestershire at Cheltenham, removing 3 top order batsmen.[5] He was overjoyed to do it in the presence of his family visiting from New Zealand.[6] In August 2013, Fuller signed a new two-year contract after a very successful 2013.[7]

In October 2013, Fuller signed for Auckland Aces in New Zealand, to play for the entire duration of the HRV Twenty20 Cup.[8]
