James Laurence Murphy (c. 1860 – 17 February 1942) was an Irish-born Australian politician.

He was born in County Cork to farmer Laurence Murphy and Mary Flynn. In the early 1880s he migrated to Victoria, and worked as a traveller before becoming a cordial manufacturer around 1895. On 11 January 1892 he married schoolteacher Margaret O'Flaherty. A member of the Labor Party, he served on South Melbourne City Council from 1904 to 1942, and was mayor from 1910 to 1911. In 1917 he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Port Melbourne, which he represented until his death in South Melbourne in 1942.[1]
