James Langridge (10 July 1906 – 10 September 1966)[1] was an English cricketer who played for Sussex and England. He played in eight Test matches between 1933 and 1946.[1]

Cricket writer Colin Bateman noted: "a great servant of Sussex, Jim Langridge played only one Test after the War in a sporadic England career. As a steady left-handed batsman and patient left-arm spinner, his Test opportunities were greatly limited by the presence of Yorkshire's Hedley Verity".[1]
