James Ball is a Welsh para-cyclist who competes in tandem races as an athlete with a visual impairment, and is a multiple world champion across the tandem sprint events. Born on 24 June 1991, he began as a swimmer and moved to athletics, but an injury ended his hopes of selection for ParalympicsGB at London 2012. British Cycling testing then revealed his potential on a bike, and he took a bronze medal at his first world championships in 2016 with the pilot Craig McLean. He won silver in the men's B&VI 1,000 metre time trial at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, and won gold in the tandem B kilo at the 2024 Summer Paralympics alongside his pilot Steffan Lloyd.
