James Arthur Lovell (født 25. marts 1928) er en tidligere amerikansk astronaut. Han er mest kendt i forbindelse med Apollo 13 missionen, der skulle have været til månen, men da en tank eksploderede, blev det i stedet en redningsmission. Han er forfatter til en bog om Apollo 13 missionen. Bogen er blevet filmatiseret med Tom Hanks i hovedrollen som James Lovell.
- Lovell var substitut for Neil Armstrong på Apollo 11 missionen.
- Indtil Skylab-programmet (1973) havde Lovell rekorden på 715 timer i rummet.
- Efter astronautkarrieren havde han flere direktørstillinger og bestyrelsesposter.
Ungdom og uddannelse
Lovell er født i Cleveland, Ohio. Hans mor var tjekkisk. Lovells familie flyttede til Milwaukee, Wisconsin, hvor han bestod eksamen på Juneau High School og blev en Eagle Scout. [1] Hans far døde i en bilulykke, da Lovell var ung, og i omkring 2 år boede Lovell hos en slægtning i Terre Haute, Indiana.
Som dreng interesserede han sig for raketter og for at bygge modelfly.
I 1952 giftede han sig med Marylin Gerlach. De har fire børn sammen: Barbara (født 1953), James (1955), Susan (1958) og Jeffrey (1966).

Seated at consoles, from left to right, are Astronaut Donald K. Slayton, Director of Flight Crew Operations; Astronaut Jack R. Lousma, Shift 3 spacecraft communicator; and Astronaut John W. Young, commander of the Apollo 13 back-up crew. Standing, left to right, are Astronaut Tom K. Mattingly, who was replaced as Apollo 13 command module pilot after it was learned he may come down with measles, and Astronaut Vance D. Brand, Shift 2 spacecraft communicator. Several hours earlier crew members of the Apollo 13 mission reported to MCC that trouble had developed with an oxygen cell in their spacecraft.

Logo Apollo 13
This is the insignia of the Apollo 13 lunar landing mission. The Apollo 13 prime crew were the astronauts James A. Lovell Jr., commander; Thomas K. Mattingly II, command module pilot; and Fred W. Haise Jr., lunar module pilot. Represented in the Apollo 13 emblem is Apollo, the sun god of Greek mythology, symbolizing how the Apollo flights have extended the light of knowledge to all mankind. The Latin phrase Ex Luna, Scientia means "From the Moon, Knowledge." Apollo 13 was intended to be the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) third lunar landing mission.

Crewmen aboard the USS Iwo Jima, prime recovery ship for the Apollo 13 mission, guide the Command Module (CM) atop a dolly onboard the ship. The CM is connected by strong cable to a hoist on the vessel. The Apollo 13 crewmembers, astronauts James A. Lovell Jr., commander; John L. Swigert Jr., command module pilot; and Fred W. Haise Jr., lunar module pilot, were already aboard the USS Iwo Jima when this photograph was made. The CM, with the three tired crewmen aboard, splashed down at 12:07:44 p.m. (CST), April 17, 1970, only about four miles from the recovery vessel in the South Pacific Ocean.
