James Edmund Lawrence (October 10, 1882 – May 18, 1941) was an American football player.
He played college football for the 1902 Michigan Wolverines football team that compiled an 11–0 record and outscored opponents 644 to 12.
He scored 113 points for the 1902 Michigan team, a figure which ranked among the five highest single-season point totals in Michigan history until 1940 and which still ranks among the top 10 scoring seasons by a Michigan player.
In an October 8, 1902 game against Michigan Agricultural College (now known as Michigan State University), Lawrence set a Michigan record by converting 19 of 20 point after touchdown kicks.
At the time of his death, The New York Times noted that Lawrence was "considered the greatest place-kicker the University of Michigan ever had."
