Jim Tolmie (born 21 November 1960 in Glasgow) is a retired Scottish footballer who played for clubs including Morton, Lokeren and Manchester City.

He started his career at Morton and made his senior debut on 28 October 1978. Then he was sold to Belgian side Lokeren in 1981, playing 18 games without scoring before returning to Britain in 1983.

Tolmie was signed by Billy McNeill for City from Lokeren for £30,000. Jim was the third signing in nine days made by McNeill, who had himself just joined City from Celtic. He left Manchester City and spent many years playing in Sweden with Markaryd IF, before returning to Morton in 1991. He retired in 1994. He is a cult hero at Manchester City noted for aggressive play, his good looks and his permed hair which was all the rage at the time.
