James McMullin was an American professional baseball player who played in three games in July 1887 for the New York Metropolitans of the American Association.

Born in California, McMullin began to play with baseball teams in San Francisco before joining the New York Metropolitans in June for $300 a month. He pitched in three games total for the Mets, and played poorly enough due to his lack of ball control in the third game that manager Opie Caylor found him not worth keeping around. He returned to California, pitching for various baseball teams through at least 1888.[1]
