Jim Dempsey (born 5 November 1946[2]) is a Scottish former football player and manager.

As a player Dempsey, who was known as a hard man,[3] was most associated with Hamilton Academical, with whom he had two spells, and Raith Rovers, although he also turned out for Stirling Albion, Albion Rovers and Larkhall Thistle.
