James Carson 'Jim' Gardner (born April 8 1933) is a North Carolina businessman and politician who served as a U.S. Representative (1967-1969) and as Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina (1989-1993). He was an unsuccessful candidate for Governor of North Carolina in 1968, 1972, and 1992. In both 1968 and in 1992, he won the Republican nomination, but lost to Democrats Robert W. Scott and Jim Hunt, respectively. In 1972, he lost the nomination to Jim Holshouser, the first of only two Republican governors of North Carolina of the 20th century. In 1989, Gardner became the first Republican elected lieutenant governor since Charles A. Reynolds, who served from 1897 to 1901. Gardner served during the second term of Republican Governor James G. Martin.

In May 1961, Jim Gardner, along with Leonard Rawls, opened the first franchise store of the fast food restaurant Hardee's in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
