James Brewton Berry (9 August 1901 – 4 March 1993) was an American professor, sociologist, and anthropologist, who was regarded in his time as one of the foremost authorities on American Indians and the only authority on mestizos in the eastern United States. He served as chairman of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Ohio State University in 1964 and was author of many academic articles and several books relating to American Indians and racial studies. Berry searched for and visited mixed American communities in the eastern United States for twenty-five years in order to study and document surviving descendants of tribes long said to have gone extinct.
