James Paul Syddall (born 7 March 1956) is an English former rugby union international who represented England in two Test matches during the 1980s.[1]

Syddall, a Waterloo player, made his Test debut against Ireland at Twickenham in 1982, as starting lock for an injured Bill Beaumont.[2] He was ineligible for further caps in 1983 after being sent off in a domestic game but returned to the lineup in 1984 to play Australia at Twickenham, which would be his final international appearance.[3]
