James Alexander Iles (born 11 February 1990) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who most recently played for Kent.
Born in Chatham, Medway, Iles signed for Kent as an academy scholar in 2005. Despite only making two appearances for the Academy side, and none for the county's second eleven, Iles secured a first-class debut against Cambridge University. In a match which made him Kent's youngest first-class cricketer, he opened his wicket-taking account, having Ian Massey caught by wicket-keeper Paul Dixey.
He made his List A debut the following season in a match against the touring Sri Lanka A side. In a match later abandoned due to rain, Iles bowled six overs, taking the wicket of opening batsman Dilruwan Perera.
He also played rugby to a reasonably high standard, representing Kent for three years.
