James Michael Murphy (born 31 March 1948) is an Australian former rugby league player.

A forward, Murphy played his early rugby league with the RAAF and Ipswich club West End. He competed for Souths from 1968 to 1972, then in 1973 moved down to Sydney, making 55 first-grade appearances for the Western Suburbs Magpies.[1] An interstate player for Queensland, Murphy toured New Zealand with the national team in 1971, but made his only Test appearance in a 1972 international against New Zealand at Lang Park, where he came on for Bob McCarthy during the second half.[2]
