James Cornish (died 7 September 1865) was a British politician.

Cornish lived near Totnes in Devon, where he followed his father in becoming a solicitor, the two then forming a partnership. At the 1832 UK general election, he stood for the Whigs in Totnes, winning a seat. He stood down by accepting the Chiltern Hundreds in 1834. In 1852/53, he served as Sheriff of Devon.[1]
