James Gordon Krakouer (born 13 October 1958) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the 1980s and '90s for North Melbourne and St Kilda in the VFL and Claremont in the WAFL. He is renowned for his quickness, skill, courageous play, and his ability to pass to his brother Phil from seemingly almost any position. His career, however, has been overshadowed by his extensive criminal history.
He is the father of former Richmond and Collingwood AFL player Andrew Krakouer.
