James Stout (May 6, 1910 - August, 1986) was an American thoroughbred horse racing jockey.

Known as "Jimmy," he began working at a racetrack as a stable boy then in 1930 became a professional jockey. Stout became most famous riding for Belair Stud and trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons. He rode Seabiscuit in his first race in January of 1935 before the colt was sold. In 1936 Stout rode in his first Kentucky Derby. Unfortunately his highly touted colt Granville was a victim of one of the roughest starts in Derby history and he was thrown from the horse. However, Jimmy Stout and Granville came back to finish second to the Derby winner Bold Venture in the Preakness Stakes then won the Belmont Stakes and went on to earn the Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year. Jimmy Stout won the Belmont two more times, aboard Pasteurized in 1938 and the following year he rode future Hall of Famer Johnstown to victory in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont. Among his other major racing successes, he won the Jockey Club Gold Cup on two occasions.

Jimmy Stout became part of racing history when he rode Bousset to a share of the victory in racing's only triple dead heat in the 1944 Carter Handicap. In 1946 he returned to his native New Jersey to ride at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport where he was the leading rider for four years. After a twenty-five year career as a jockey, in which he won 2,056 races, Stout retired from riding in 1954 following which he worked as a race official.

In 1968 Jimmy Stout was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.
