James Osborne (24 September 1845 – 11 April 1877) was an Australian politician.

He was born at Marshall Mount near Wollongong to Henry Osborne and Sarah Marshall.[1] He was a pastoralist on the Murrumbidgee River before entering politics. In 1869 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Illawarra,[2] a seat his brother Patrick had already represented from 1864 to 1866.[3] Their father had been a member of New South Wales Legislative Council (1851-1856) and Legislative Assembly (1856-57).[4]

James Osborne retired in 1872, and died in Sydney in 1877.[2]
