James Donald Watson (10 August 1872 – 25 December 1958) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A forward, Watson represented Taranaki at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1896. He played one match for the All Blacks, against Queensland at Wellington.[1]
Following the death of Henry Butland in 1956, Watson was the oldest living All Black.
