James M. Pushor (born February 11, 1973) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who last played professionally for the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League.

He was drafted 32nd overall in the 2nd round of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings. He has also played for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Dallas Stars, Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers. He won a Stanley Cup in 1997 with the Detroit Red Wings.

As a free agent (previously playing for the Columbus Blue Jackets), he was acquired by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2003 on a try-out contract in the off season. Jamie however, failed to make the cut for the team on the try-out contract.

Pushor presumably retired during the 2006-2007 campaign, after abruptly leaving the Crunch midseason.
