contents The large-scale structure survey J-PAS is taking data since October 2023. In this work, we present a forecast based on the Fisher matrix method to establish its sensitivity to the sum of the neutrino masses. We adapt the Fisher Galaxy Survey Code (FARO) to account for the neutrino mass under various configurations applied to galaxy clustering measurements. This approach allows us to test the sensitivity of J-PAS to the neutrino mass across different tracers, with and without non-linear corrections, and under varying sky coverage. We perform our forecast for two cosmological models: $ΛCDM + \sum m_ν$ and $w_0w_a CDM + \sum m_ν$. We combine our J-PAS forecast with Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data from the Planck Collaboration and Type Ia supernova (SN) data from Pantheon Plus. Our analysis shows that, for a sky coverage of 8,500 square degrees, J-PAS galaxy clustering data alone will constrain the sum of the neutrino masses to an upper limit at 95% C.L of $\sum m_ν< 0.32$ eV for the $ΛCDM + \sum m_ν$ model, and $\sum m_ν< 0.36$ eV for the $w_0w_a CDM + \sum m_ν$ model. When combined with Planck data, the upper limit improves significantly. For J-PAS+Planck at 95% C.L, we find $\sum m_ν< 0.061$ eV for the $ΛCDM + \sum m_ν$ model, and for J-PAS+Planck+Pantheon Plus, we obtain $\sum m_ν< 0.12$ eV for the $w_0w_a CDM + \sum m_ν$ model. These results demonstrate that J-PAS clustering measurements can play a crucial role in addressing challenges in the neutrino sector, including potential tensions between cosmological and terrestrial measurements of the neutrino mass, as well as in determining the mass ordering.
