James Eadie (1827–1904) was a Scottish brewer who founded an eponymous brewery in Burton on Trent which operated for 90 years.
His father had founded a small brewhouse at Blackford in the early 19th century as part of a posting hotel with livery stables on Moray Street.
The James Eadie company grew successfully from its establishment in 1854 and continued as a private concern until it was registered in 1893.
However like other Burton breweries at the time, the company ran into financial difficulties and had to be restructured in 1896.
The company, with its brewery and several hundred public houses was acquired by Bass Ratcliffe and Gretton in 1933.
