James Patrick Ware (23 February 1908 – 18 July 1983) was an Irish hurler.
At club level he played for Erin’s Own, captaining the club on a number of occasions, and was the captain of the Waterford senior hurling team that won the 1948 All-Ireland Championship.
Widely regarded as one of the Erin's Own club's all-time greats, Ware's career lasted for over twenty years.
During that time he won 12 Waterford Senior Championship medals, including a record nine championships in-a-row between 1927 and 1935. Ware made his first appearance for the Waterford senior hurling team during the 1927 Munster Championship and enjoyed his greatest successes as a goalkeeper over the following two decades.
In 1948, at the age of 40, he became the oldest player to lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup when Waterford won their first All-Ireland Championship, having earlier captained the team to the Munster Championship title.
Ware was selected as goalkeeper on the Waterford Hurling Team of the Century in 1984. Ware's brother, Charlie, played on the first Waterford team to reach an All-Ireland final in 1938, while his nephew, also called Charlie, was a substitute on the Waterford team that won the 1959 All-Ireland Championship.
