James Barnett (c. 1760 – 1 October 1836) was an English banker and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1806 and 1820.
[2] He was re-elected for Rochester at a by-election on 27 June 1816 but his election was declared void on 26 February 1817 because the poll had been closed early.
He was elected unopposed at the subsequent by-election<[3] which was held on 6 March 1817 and held the seat until 1820,[4] when he did not contest that year's general election.
Their eldest recorded son Charles James Barnett was a cricketer and politician.
