James William Edmonds (4 June 1951 – 14 June 2011) was an English cricketer. Edmonds was a right-handed batsman who bowled left-arm fast-medium. He was born at Smethwick, Staffordshire.

Edmonds made a single first-class appearance for Lancashire against Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1975.[1] Cambridge University won the toss and elected to bat first, making 232 all out in their first-innings, during which Edmonds bowled 20.5 overs for 52, taking the wickets of Richard Smyth, Stephen Wookey, and Mark Allbrook. Lancashire then made 409 declared in their first-innings, during which Edmonds wasn't required to bat. Cambridge University reached 240/6 in their second-innings, at which point the match was declared a draw.[2] This was his only major appearance for Lancashire.

He died at Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire, on 14 June 2011.
