James ("Jimmy") Andrew Elmer (born May 8, 1971 in Melbourne, Victoria) is a former field hockey striker from Australia, who was a member of the team that won the bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
He was nicknamed Jimmy by his team mates, and was considered as an exceptionally skilful player with good endurance and speed. Elmer made his senior debut for The Kookaburras in 1993. He played in every Champions Trophy since 1996, but always missed "the big ones", until the Sydney Games. There he finished his career after 102 international matches, in which he scored 28 goals.
