James Peter Pollitt (born c. 1826 at St Leonards-on-Sea, Sussex; died in 1860 at Brighton, Sussex) was an English cricketer.

In 1850, he played a single first-class match for a Hampshire team against an All-England Eleven. In 1851, Pollitt made his debut for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Sussex. He made 2 further appearances for the club Cambridge University and Sussex.
