Jimmy Mitchell (22 October 1924 – 11 March 2004) was a Scottish footballer, who played for Queen's Park, Morton, Aberdeen and was player/manager of Cowdenbeath.[2] Mitchell also represented the Scottish League XI once.[3][1]

Mitchell cost Aberdeen £7000 from Morton, which was one of their most expensive signings at the time. This price was worth it, however, with Mitchell leading Aberdeen to their first League Championship in 1955 and the League Cup the following season as captain.[4]
