James McDonagh (b. 6 October 1952, Rotherham, England), better known as Jim McDonagh and nicknamed "Seamus" is currently goalkeeping coach at Aston Villa, having previously held the same position at Coventry City.

McDonagh started his career at his hometown club Rotherham United before joining Bolton Wanderers, initially on loan, taking over from the recently departed Barry Siddall. An ever present during the Second Division Championship winning side of 1977-78, he set a club record of conceding only 33 goals in a 42 match season. For the following two seasons in the top flight he was also an ever present and did well enough for Everton to sign him for £250,000 when Bolton were relegated. Within a year Neville Southall had come through the ranks at Everton and McDonagh found himself back at Burnden Park. Another demotion followed, even with McDonagh managing to score a goal, and he moved on to Notts County for two seasons before wandering around a further six English clubs as well as teams in the USA.It was while he was at Bolton that he received the nickname "Seamus" as a result of gaining the first of 24 caps for Ireland, thanks to his Irish ancestry. He is now known professionally by his nickname.

He was appointed player/manager of Galway United in 1988 when they were in the relegation zone. Despite helping save the club from relegation his contract was unilaterally terminated by United in May 1989.
