James Wilkie Davidson (25 October 1873 – unknown) was a Scottish professional association footballer who played as an inside forward.
Davidson started his career at Celtic before moving to Burnley.[1] In March 1897 Davidson also had a loan spell with Lincoln City. He helped Lincoln win the Lincolnshire Cup at the end of the season.[1] Then in May 1897 he signed to Tottenham Hotspur for one season. On 4 September 1897 Davidson made his debut in a Southern League away game against Sheppey United which finished in a 3–3 draw.[1] [2] Davidson played regularly in the Southern and United League but didn't have his contract renewed at the end of the season and thus moved to Brighton United.[1] After two years at Brighton he returned to Burnley.[1]
