James McEwan (22 March 1929 – 28 November 2017) was a Scottish professional footballer, who usually played at right wing. He played for Arbroath and Raith Rovers in Scotland before settling in the West Midlands in England playing for Aston Villa and Walsall.
McEwan usually played right wing but sometimes at inside right. He was described in the profile by Aston Villa's club historian as, "a craggy-and-hungry-looking outside-right, a player who hugged the touchline, cutting in when the ball was being moved along the opposite flank," and "With Raith he blossomed into a goalscoring right-winger-cum-centre-forward." He was a fast and tricky player with a useful goal scoring record. He had a Stanley Matthews style way he would side-step a full-back before delivering over a good cross.
