James Gilman (17 March 1879 – 14 September 1976) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for London County, Middlesex and Cambridge University from 1900 to 1904.[1]

Gilman was educated at St Paul's School in London and Jesus College, Cambridge. An electrical engineer, he served as major in the Royal Army Service Corps in World War One.[2]

At 97 years and 182 days when he died in 1976, Gilman was Middlesex's longest-lived player until Rusi Cooper overtook his record in 2020.[3]
