James T. Leavins (born July 28, 1960) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played 41 games in the National Hockey League for the Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers during the 1985–86 and 1986–7 seasons. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1984 to 1995, was spent in various minor leagues.

On July 29, 1986, the Detroit Red Wings traded Leavins to the New York Rangers (along with Kelly Kisio, Lane Lambert, and a fifth round draft choice), in exchange for goalie Glen Hanlon and two future draft picks.

He was an all WCHA and all-American player at the University of Denver
