James H. "Jumpin' Jimmy" Washington (born July 1, 1943) is a retired American professional basketball athlete. Standing 6 feet 6 inches tall, Washington played as a forward after his collegiate career at Villanova University. He was chosen as the sixth pick overall in the 1965 NBA draft by the St. Louis Hawks. Following a single season with the Hawks, he transferred to the Chicago Bulls, where he became the franchise's first player to average more than ten rebounds per game and earned considerable admiration from supporters.

During the 1967–1968 campaign, Washington posted averages of 12.5 points and 10.1 rebounds each game. In the course of the 1968 NBA playoffs, he achieved postseason personal bests with 17.2 points and 15 rebounds per contest, although the Bulls were ousted in the opening round by the Los Angeles Lakers. The next season saw him maintain strong performance levels, averaging 14 points alongside 10.6 rebounds per game. Washington's career also included stints with the Philadelphia 76ers, the relocated Atlanta Hawks (formerly St. Louis), and the Buffalo Braves, culminating in a total of 6,637 career rebounds.
