James Egerton Lowndes Wright (10 May 1912 – 14 January 1987) was an English cricketer. Wright was a right-handed batsman. He was born at London.

Educated at Winchester College, he progressed from the college cadet force to enlist in the London Regiment as a 2nd Lieutenant.[1] In 1935 he gained promotion to Lieutenant in the same regiment.[2] In 1937, Wright made a single first-class appearance for the Free Foresters against Oxford University at the University Parks.[3] In a match which Oxford University won by ten wickets, Wright batted twice, scoring 48 runs in the Free Foresters first-innings before being dismissed by Bill Murray-Wood, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for a duck by David Macindoe.[4]

He died at Ashford Hill, Hampshire on 14 January 1987. His father Egerton Wright also played first-class cricket.
