James (Jim) Craven (1935–1980) was an Irish poet. He was born at Balregan, outside of Dundalk, County Louth.
== Life ==
Craven lived most of his life at his family home at Balregan. Despite having received an award for writing at the age of fifteen, he left school after completing his Intermediate Certificate exams. Throughout his life he was employed in various clerical and administrative jobs in Dundalk and briefly, in Dublin and Leeds. He was active in the Labour Party at grassroots level in the 1970s.

In his later years, Craven suffered from bipolar disease and alcoholism, spending intermittent periods in psychiatric care. He died in a car accident in 1980.
