Jimmy McAuley (born 1901 in Newtownards,Ireland) was an Irish football (soccer) inside forward who played professionally in Ireland and the United States.

McAuley is known to have played for Ards F.C. in the Irish League. In 1927, he signed with Philadelphia Celtic of the American Soccer League. Before the 1927-1928 season, a new ownership group had renamed the Philadelphia Field Club the Celtic. They spent heavily on Irish players, but the team lasted only ten games before being suspended by the league for financial irregularities.

In March 1930, the Marksmen defeated Cleveland Bruell Insurance in the 1930 National Challenge Cup.
