James Copland (3 February 1834 – 9 November 1902) was a New Zealand presbyterian minister, doctor and writer.
He was born in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland on 3 February 1834 and emigrated to New Zealand in 1864.
He was active as a minister in Lawrence and then in North Dunedin, because he resigned from the ministry.
[1] It is believed that the surveyor George John Roberts named the Copland River on the West Coast of New Zealand for Copland, with the name later adopted for an alpine pass and a glacier.
