Jim Flynn (born 21 March 1871) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong and Carlton in the VFL.

A ruckman, Flynn started his career in 1897 where he was part of Geelong's inaugural VFL side. Flynn stayed with the club until the end of the 1902 season when he crossed to Carlton.

He was made Carlton captain in 1905 and in 1906 led them to the premiership, defeating Fitzroy in the Grand Final. Due to business commitments he retired from football after the game but returned in the 1907 finals series after captain Fred Elliott was suspended. Flynn's captaincy was sought after and he led them to another premiership. In 1908 Flynn didn't play a game during the home and away season but was again used by Carlton in the finals, this time under the captaincy of Elliott, and was a member of a premiership side for the third successive year.
