James Leroy O'Gwynn (January 26, 1928 – January 19, 2011) was an American country music singer. Between 1958 and 1962, he recorded for the D Records and Mercury labels, charting six times on the Hot Country Songs charts. His work on the D Records label was produced by Pappy Daily, best known for producing George Jones.

O'Gwynn's highest-peaking single came during his Mercury career, when he reached No. 7 with "My Name Is Mud." None of his other singles afterward made the charts, and he moved among several labels, including United Artists Records and Plantation Records.{{cite book|last1=Wolff|first1=Kurt|last2=Duane|first2=Orla|title=Country Music: The Rough Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3Jorozp1yp4C&pg=PA135 |year=2000|publisher=Rough Guides|isbn=1-85828-534-8|pages=135–136}}
