For other people named James Hill, see James Hill (disambiguation).
Sir James Hill, 1st Baronet (March 1849 – 17 January 1936)[1] was a British Liberal Party politician.
He was elected unopposed as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bradford Central at a by-election in 1916, following the death of the Liberal MP Sir George Scott Robertson.[2] He was made a baronet in January 1917, of Bradford, but at the 1918 general election the "coalition coupon" went to his Conservative Party opponent Henry Butler Ratcliffe, who won the seat.[3] After his defeat, Hill did not stand for Parliament again.
