James Robert Hughes (March 21, 1923 - August 12, 2001) was a former professional baseball player. He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of six seasons (1952-1957) with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox. For his career, he compiled a 15-13 record in 172 appearances, all but one as a relief pitcher, with an 3.83 earned run average and 165 strikeouts.
