James William Angell (1883 – 4 January 1960) was an English footballer who played at right-half for Southampton in the Southern League in 1906. He later coached the Thornycrofts team which took Burnley to a replay in the FA Cup in 1920, before becoming a scout for Arsenal and Norwich City. After retiring from playing football, he became a builder and property developer.
Angell was born in Bitterne, Southampton and played youth football for various local minor clubs before joining Southampton in the summer of 1902, aged 19. He spent most of his time with the "Saints" in the reserves, winning Hampshire Senior Cup medals in 1905, 1907 and 1908.
His first-team debut came on 29 September 1906, when he replaced Jack Hogg at right-half for the Southern League match at Brentford, which was lost 2–1. He retained his place for the next two matches, a 5–1 home victory over Millwall and a 3–2 defeat at Clapton Orient, after which Hogg returned.
Angell later returned to local football with Bitterne Guild and Eastleigh Athletic.
After the First World War, he was coach to the Thornycrofts team, when they reached the First Round proper of the FA Cup in January 1920. After victories over Dulwich Hamlet and Sheppey United, Thornycrofts were drawn against Burnley. The match, on 10 January 1920, was played at The Dell and ended in a goalless draw. In the replay three days later, Burnley's pedigree and experience prevailed, winning 5–0, with three goals from James Lindsay.
