James Dougal (3 October 1913 – 17 October 1999) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside forward for Kilsyth Rangers, Falkirk, Preston North End, Carlisle United, Halifax Town and Chorley, either side of World War II. He featured on the losing side (playing at outside right) in the 1937 FA Cup Final with Preston – where there was a large contingent of Scottish players in the period – but did not take part the following year when the Lilywhites claimed the trophy due to injury. He was the club's top goalscorer in the 1938–39 season, and won the Football League War Cup in 1941.
