Jimmy Gunn (born 18 July 1980) is a Scottish professional golfer.

In 2007, Gunn moved to the United States to turn professional.[1] Gunn played the 2014 season on the Web.com Tour with a best finish of T-18 at the BMW Charity Pro-Am. He is playing the 2015 season on the Gateway Tour.[2]

Gunn finished tied for 27th at the 2015 U.S. Open.[3] To qualify for the open he had to play in both local and sectional qualifying and ultimately qualified as an alternate. Unlike most professional golfers, Gunn did not play golf in college, but worked on oil rigs and built homes after finishing his schooling.[4]
