Jim Crowley, born on 14 July 1978 in Ascot, is an English jockey who was British flat racing Champion Jockey in 2016 and whose riding career ended after a serious fall at York in September 2025. After riding as an amateur he rode over jumps for the stable of Sue Smith in West Yorkshire, partnering about 300 winners, and then returned to the flat at 27, riding for his sister-in-law Amanda Perrett. His first Group 1 win came on Lord Shanakill in the 2009 Prix Jean Prat. From 2016 he was first jockey to Hamdan Al-Maktoum's Shadwell operation, and rode Battaash, Hukum and Baaeed for it. His 2023 win on Hukum in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes brought a 20 day ban and a fine for using the whip too often.
