James Hopkins "Jim" Bailey (born December 16 1934, Strawberry Plains, Tennessee) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played briefly for the Cincinnati Redlegs during the 1959 season. Bailey batted and threw left-handed. He is the younger brother of the late catcher Ed Bailey, who was his teammate on the Redlegs.

In three games pitched, Bailey posted a 0-1 record with seven strikeouts and a 6.17 ERA in 11⅔ innings, including one start.

In Cincinnati, the Bailey brothers became one of the brother-batteries in major league history.
