Sir James Graham, 1st Baronet (18 November 1753 – 21 March 1825) was a British Tory politician.

He was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Cockermouth at the 1802 general election,[1][2] but resigned that seat in 1805 to stand for Wigtown Burghs, where he was elected in July 1805.[3][4]

At the 1806 general election he was returned as an MP for Cockermouth,[1][2] where he was re-elected in 1807[2] and held the seat until 1812.[1] At the 1812 general election he was returned for Carlisle,[5][6] and held that seat until his death in 1825, aged 71.[6]

He was made a baronet in 1808, of Kirkstall, Yorkshire.[7]
