Jaume "Jim" Oliver Frontera (1 August 1927 – 1998), also known by his Spanish name Jaime Oliver Frontera, was a Spanish boxer and professional wrestler. He would start his training in a gym and would compete for Spain in men's boxing at the 1948 Summer Olympics. There, he would be the first Mallorcan boxer to compete at the Olympic Games but would be defeated in the first round of the men's middleweight event. He would later become a professional in the sport but would switch to wrestling.

A year after starting wrestling, he would become the European mid-heavyweight champion. Frontera would be banned from wrestling in Spain after he had attacked a referee but would continue to wrestle outside of the country. He would retire from sport in 1964 and occasionally acted in movies that featured wrestling.
