James Thompson Wilshire (20 April 1837 – 28 April 1909) was an Australian politician.

He was born in Sydney to James Robert Wilshire and Elizabeth Thompson. He was educated at Peter Steel's School in Pitt Street and Henry Brown's City Grammar School before studying at the University of Sydney. He was a clark and land agent at Scone from 1862. In 1883 he returned to Sydney, being now wealthy enough to retire. He was an alderman and mayor of Burwood, and was involved with a number of societies, notably those connected with sanitary reform. In 1889 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Free Trade member for Canterbury, but he did not contest the 1891 election. Wilshire died in Neutral Bay in 1909.[1]
