James Challen (4 October 1825 – 1900) was an English cricketer. Challen's batting and bowling styles are unknown. He was born at Kirdford, Sussex.

Challen made his first-class debut for Sussex against Kent in 1848. He made eighteen further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Kent in 1857.[1] In his nineteen first-class appearances for Sussex, he took 23 wickets at an average of 14.75, with the most wickets he took in a single innings standing at 4. Due to incomplete records, his exact best figures are unknown.[2] Challen played as a bowler, as such he had little success with the bat. He scored a total of 323 runs for Sussex, which came at a batting average of 9.22, with a high score of 37.[3] Challen also made a single first-class appearance each for the Players against the Gentlemen in 1854, and for England against the Marylebone Cricket Club in the same year.[1]

He died somewhere in Sussex in 1900. His father, James Challen senior, played first-class cricket for Sussex.
