Sir James Murray (19 September 1850 – 12 April 1932 or 1933)[1][2] was a Scottish Liberal Party politician.

He was elected unopposed[3] as the Member of Parliament for East Aberdeenshire at a by-election in 1906,[4] following the death of the Liberal MP James Annand, who had held the seat for only 16 days. He held the seat until the January 1910 general election,[1] when he did not stand again.[3]

He was knighted in 1915.[1]
