James Thomas Fallon (1823 – 26 May 1886) was an Irish-born Australian politician.

He was born at Athlone to farmer James Fallon and Margaret Norton. He migrated to Sydney in 1841 and operated a general store. He became a vigneron, being director of a Murray Valley-based company from 1858. In 1869 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Hume, but he did not re-contest in 1872. His winery manufactured the first Australian champagne in 1876. Fallon died at Manly in 1886.[1]
