James Michael Eisenreich (born April 18, 1959 St. Cloud, Minnesota) was a utility player with a 15 year career from 1982-1984, 1987-1998. He played for the Minnesota Twins, Kansas City Royals both of the American League and the Philadelphia Phillies, Florida Marlins and Los Angeles Dodgers all of the National League. He played firstbase, outfield and designated hitter.

Eisenreich has Tourette syndrome, and his condition caused him to go on to the voluntary retirement list between 1984 and 1987 while he was undergoing treatment. Eisenreich was replaced on the Twins roster by Kirby Puckett, who became one of baseball's superstars in the late 1980s to mid-1990s.

Eisenreich is notable as being part of arguably one of the biggest trades in baseball in the 90s. On May 14, 1998, Eisenreich was traded from the Florida Marlins, with Bobby Bonilla, Gary Sheffield, Charles Johnson, and Manuel Barrios, to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Todd Zeile and future Hall of Famer Mike Piazza.
