James Toher (born 1993) is an Irish hurler who plays centre back for the Meath senior team.

Born in Trim, County Meath, Toher first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Meath minor team before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2012 league. Toher quickly became a regular member of the starting fifteen and has since won one Christy Ring Cup medal (2016). He captained his side to this historic win, lifting the cup twice in a single month after a controversial scoreline deemed correct by the referee was overturned by the CCC and a replay awarded.{{cite web|url=http://www.gaa.ie/hurling/news/toher-parts-meath-are-die-hard-hurling/|title=Toher: 'Parts of Meath are die hard hurling'|date=3 June 2016|publisher=GAA website|accessdate=26 June 2016|first=|last=}}

At international level, Toher has played for the composite rules shinty-hurling team, captaining the U21s in 2013 and 2014 and made his senior debut in 2015. At club level, he plays with Trim.
