James Paddon (19 November 1884 – 5 May 1966) was the second Australian after World War I to win the professional World Sculling Championship.
Before the war seven other Australians had held the title. Paddon was a professional sculler but unlike many of the earlier Champions he did not need to rely on sculling income to maintain his life-style.
He was a successful Evans Head businessman who had interests in oyster leases, fishing, sub-leasing, farming, and tourism.
