James "Jimmy" Gordon (born 1987) is an American politician serving since 2025 in the Minnesota House of Representatives. A member of the Republican Party of Minnesota, Gordon represents District 28A, which includes parts of North Branch, Cambridge, and Isanti in southeastern Minnesota. He previously served as the mayor of Isanti.
Gordon was elected mayor of Isanti in 2022 with 55% of the vote, defeating incumbent Jeff Johnson. As Mayor, he cast a tie breaking vote to provide a special permit to open a CBD shop within the city. After being elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in the 2024 election, he announced his resignation as mayor, effective December 31 of that year.
In January 2024, Gordon announced his intention to challenge incumbent Republican Brian Johnson in the primary for District 28A of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

He was the only challenger to successfully primary an incumbent in Minnesota in 2024.
In the general election, he defeated Democratic nominee Tim Dummer by nearly 37 points. He was sworn in at the start of session on January 14, 2025.
Gordon was born in 1987 in Cambridge, Minnesota. He lives in Isanti with his wife, Megan, and four children and attends North Isanti Baptist Church.
