James Patrick Morgan, known as Jimmy, but nicknamed "Nitro" (December 16, 1948 - February 8, 1981) was an American bobsledder who competed from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. His death during the 1981 FIBT World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy at the bobsleigh track used for the 1956 Winter Olympics coupled with the death of a stuntman involved in the production of the 1981 film For Your Eyes Only would lead to the shortening of the Cortina d'Ampezzo track to its current configuration.
