James „Jim“ Rigsby (* 6. Juni 1923 in Spadry, Arkansas; † 31. August 1952 in Dayton, Ohio) war ein US-amerikanischer Autorennfahrer.

Jim Rigsby startete einmal in seiner Karriere bei einem Rennen zur Weltmeisterschaft der Formel 1. Das war am 30. Mai 1952 bei den 500 Meilen von Indianapolis auf einem Watson-Offenhauser - dieses Rennen zählte zwischen 1950 und 1960 zur Weltmeisterschaft - und erreichte nach 200 Runden, mit einem Rückstand von 16 Sekunden auf den Sieger Troy Ruttman, den 12. Rang. Er verunglückte im selben Jahr, bei einem Sprint-Car-Race in Dayton, tödlich.
