James Charles Mackie (born 22 September 1985) is a former professional footballer.
He previously played as a striker for Queens Park Rangers. Born in Dorking, England, Mackie has played for Scotland, his eligibility gained from his grandfather who was born in Kilmarnock.

He began his career at Wimbledon, progressing through the club's youth system making his first team debut in December 2003. A squad member when the club was renamed and moved to Milton Keynes, he made few of appearances before joining Conference side Exeter City. He spent time on loan with Sutton United in 2005 and returned to establish himself as a first team regular, his performance during the 2007–08 season attracting interest from other clubs and he signed for Plymouth Argyle in the January transfer window, scoring twice on his debut in the Championship. He appeared regularly for the club over the next two years and finished as the club's top goalscorer in the 2009–10 season. He joined Queens Park Rangers in May 2010, signing a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee. In 2013 he joined Nottingham Forest before signing, on loan for Reading in 2014.

Mackie began his career at non-league Leatherhead, joining Wimbledon as a trainee in 2003, before moving to Exeter City in August 2005. Following a brief spell on-loan at Sutton United in his first season, Mackie went on to become an established first-team player scoring more than 20 goals in all competitions, from nearly 100 appearances, thus alerting other clubs of his potential.
