James 'Jim' Marchbank (born August 17, 1878) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Marchbank was already 24 when he came to Carlton but he soon established a place in the side as both a ruckman and centre half forward. He participated in Carlton's 1904 Grand Final loss and took a break from the sport in 1905 as the Woods Point recruit was struggling to adapt to life in Melbourne.

In 1906 he returned to the game and was a centre half forward in their premiership team that year as well as in 1908. He however missed the 1907 flag due to a suspension for striking in an encounter against South Melbourne late in the season. Marchbank played in further Grand Finals in 1909 and 1910 but finished on the losing team in both.
