James Calvert (28 March 1891 – ?), was a Brazilian footballer who played as a forward.
Born in Rio de Janeiro and son of English parents who worked at the Alliance Textile Factory in Rua das Laranjeiras, James Calvert spent part of his childhood in Chadderton, United Kingdom, where he learned to play football. Back in Brazil as a young man, he played for Rio Cricket, Fluminense, where he was state champion in 1911, being top scorer,[1] and, alongside Oswaldo Gomes, one of the only players who did not leave the club for the founding of CR Flamengo. He also played for Bangu and Santos in 1920.[2]
