James Michael Pushor (born February 11, 1973) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He is currently Director of Player Personnel with the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Pushor was drafted 32nd overall in the second round of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings. He played in the NHL for the Red Wings, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Dallas Stars, Columbus Blue Jackets, Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers. He has won 3 Stanley Cup championships, in 1997 with the Red Wings as a player and in 2020, and 2021 with the Lightning as an executive.
