James Hill Lytle (18 May 1875 — 11 July 1928) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Lytle was a grandson of former Belfast mayor John Lytle and attended Merchiston Castle School in Scotland.[1]
A strong scrummaging forward, Lytle played for Belfast club North of Ireland and was a noted goal-kicker, specialising in shots from distance. He made his Ireland debut playing beside his brother John during their triple crown-winning 1894 Home Nations campaign. Capped 12 times, Lytle finished his career with another triple crown win in 1899.[2]
Lytle moved to Buenos Aires for business reasons around the turn of the century.[3]
