Jim Rockford is a fictional character on the television series The Rockford Files. The character, played by James Garner, is a struggling private investigator operating in Los Angeles.

Unlike many other fictional "private eyes", he is a former convict, albeit one who was falsely imprisoned (and pardon). During the series, it is also revealed that because of Sgt./PFC Rockford's actions in Korea, he was awarded a Silver Star while serving in the Korean War with the 24th Infantry Division.

He was never married, but dated many women during the course of The Rockford Files (with most relationships not lasting longer than a single episode), most notably his lawyer, Beth Davenport, whom he was said to have dated seriously before the series began. He maintains a close relationship with his father "Rocky", and his closest friend is LAPD Sgt. Dennis Becker (who also serves as his LAPD contact); in addition, he has a large group of colorful friends. He enjoys fishing, and would rather spend time doing that than working. He often describes himself as "chicken" though often his actions speak otherwise. He lives in a battered mobile home on the beach in Malibu, California and drives a second-generation Pontiac Firebird.

The detective story writer Stuart M. Kaminsky has written two books with Jim Rockford as the main character, entitled The Green Bottle and The Devil on My Doorstep.

Jim Rockford has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
