James Conquest Cross Black (May 9, 1842 – October 1, 1928) was a nineteenth-century politician and lawyer from Kentucky and Georgia.

During the Civil War, he enlisted as a private in Company A of the 9th Kentucky Cavalry in the Confederate Army.

Black was elected as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives in 1892, defeating incumbent Populist Tom Watson.

In the October 1895 special election, Black prevailed over Watson again, and thus took his seat back to fill the vacancy caused by his own resignation.
