James Gemmell (17 November 1880 – after 1911) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke, Sunderland and Leeds City as an inside forward.[1]

Gemmell was born in Glasgow and played for Duntocher Hibernian and Clyde before joining Sunderland in 1900. He made his debut for Sunderland on 8 December 1900 against Sheffield Wednesday in a 1–0 win at Roker Park.[2] He was at Sunderland in two different spells; in 1900–07 and 1910–12 respectively, separated by a stay at Leeds United.[3] During his first stay at Sunderland, he won the 1902 English Football League Championship.[4] Gemmell made 213 league appearances for Sunderland, scoring 46 goals.[5]

In 1907 Gemmell signed for Second Division Stoke but after making 11 appearances scoring twice he was sold to Leeds City due to Stoke having serious financial difficulties.[1]
