James Harrington Trafford (জেমস ট্রাফোর্ড) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Manchester City.

Trafford was born in Cockermouth, Cumbria, and grew up in the nearby village of Greysouthen in a farming family. He was a Chelsea fan. He attended Cockermouth School and St Bede's College. He learned to drive on a tractor and in his early career he would return to help out on the family farm in the off-season.

Trafford played his first international match of his career for England U17 on 24 March 2018 against Croatia U17 in which he saved a penalty and kept a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw despite England being down to ten men. He made a further six appearances for the U17 including one appearance at the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, then played twice for England U18, and once for England U19.

On 6 September 2021, Trafford made his debut for the England U20s during a 6–1 victory over Romania U20s at St. George's Park.

On 14 June 2023, Trafford was included in the England squad for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He did not concede a goal during the tournament in six matches, the first time a goalkeeper had done this in the tournament's history, and saved a stoppage-time penalty and its rebound in the final against Spain as England won the game 1–0. His mentality was praised by England under-21 manager Lee Carsley. It was later reported that Trafford had told friends that he would save a penalty that game.

He spent his early career as an outfield player. At Carlisle he began as a midfielder but volunteered to become a goalkeeper at age 9. He has been praised for his reflexes and distribution. He is noted for his ability to get clean sheets, breaking multiple records with Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, and winning the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship without conceding a goal.
