James Robert Langfield (born 22 December 1979) is a Scottish football player and coach, who is currently the goalkeeping coach at St Mirren. Langfield, who played as a goalkeeper, started his career with Dundee. He then played for Partick Thistle and Dunfermline Athletic before joining Aberdeen in 2005. He went on to spend the next decade with Aberdeen, regaining his place in the team after being dropped for off-field indiscipline in 2007, a loss of form in 2008 and then again in 2012 after suffering a brain seizure that kept him out of competitive action for nine months. He was voted the Aberdeen player of the year in 2009 and was part of the team that won the Scottish League Cup in 2014.
Langfield played for Scotland in a B international in 2007 and was a member of the senior squad without being selected for a full cap. In 2015 Langfield joined hometown club St Mirren and played regularly until May 2017 before becoming their goalkeeping coach. Langfield was caretaker manager of St Mirren after Jim Goodwin left the club in February 2022.

In June 2007, while enjoying his stag party on holiday in Magaluf, he had a drunken argument with Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood after bumping into him in a chance encounter, with the incident putting his future at Aberdeen in doubt.

Personal life
Jamie grew up in Paisley, with his parents, three younger brothers and a younger sister. Following the brain seizure that affected his career, Langfield helped raise money for the charity BareAll4BTs which helps those affected by brain tumours, by auctioning his gloves.{{cite news|title=Jamie Langfield auctions gloves to help brain tumour charity|url=http://news.stv.tv/north/219248-jamie-langfield-the-aberdeen-keeper-is-auctioning-gloves-for-bareall4bts/|publisher=Sport STV|date=28 March 2012|access-date=16 August 2013|archive-date=24 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150524023233/http://news.stv.tv/north/219248-jamie-langfield-the-aberdeen-keeper-is-auctioning-gloves-for-bareall4bts/|url-status=dead}}
