James Horan, born in 1972, is a Gaelic football manager and former player who twice managed the Mayo county team. He was born in New Zealand and played club football for Ballintubber and inter-county football for Mayo, where he was a key member of the half-forward line through the 1990s and collected three Connacht titles and two All Star awards, in 1996 and 1999. Moving straight into management after retiring, he took over his club Ballintubber in 2007 and led it back to the senior ranks and to a senior championship final. Appointed Mayo manager in October 2010, he took the county to the 2012 and 2013 All-Ireland finals, losing to Donegal and Dublin, and resigned in 2014. He returned in October 2018, reached the 2020 and 2021 finals, which Mayo lost to Dublin and Tyrone, and resigned after a 2022 quarter-final defeat to Kerry.
