Jimmy Walker (December 2, 1940 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Bigler, PA. He competed in six Nextel Cup Series events in his career.

Walker's debut came in 1982, when he competed at Dover. Starting 29th in the field of thirty-two, Walker only lasted seventy-eight laps before an engine failure left him 28th. Early DNFs also plagued Walker in two other races that year, crashing to last (37th) at Pocono and breaking a rear end to finish 28th at North Wilkesboro.

Walker didn't fare any better in his pair of 1983 races, DNFing in both instances. Overheating issues left him 29th at Nashville while another rear end gear issue at North Wilkesboro left him 27th.

Walker's final race came in 1985, when he returned to Dover for the first time since his debut. It was another DNF (another due to an engine at the track), but at the least Walker matched his career-best finish. He completed 180 laps to finish 27th.
