James Aitchison (26 May 1920 – 13 February 1994) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.
Only two other players have appeared more times in first class cricket for Scotland, and Aitchison holds the team's record for most career runs and highest individual score.[1] In the match against Ireland in 1959 he batted throughout the first day to make 190 not out.[2] In club cricket for Kilmarnock he made 18,344 runs with 56 centuries.
Aitchison served as a minister in the Church of Scotland for 34 years until his retirement in 1986.[3] In 2011 he was one of the twelve initial inductees into the Scottish Cricket Hall of Fame.[4]
