James Phillip McCarten (born 8 November 1990 in Netherton, Merseyside) is an English semi-professional footballer who is currently playing for Warrington Town.
McCarten began his career as a youth player at Everton and was named Everton under-18's player of the year for the 2008–09 season. Academy manager Ray Hall described McCarten as "the type of player a young boy should look up to". In March 2010, he joined Football League Two side Accrington Stanley on a short-term loan deal, making one appearance during a 2–3 defeat to Grimsby Town.
Released by Everton on his return, McCarten signed for Welsh Premier League side Aberystwyth Town. He made a total of 55 appearances for the club.
