Admiral Sir James Edward Clifford Goodrich KCVO (28 June 1851 – 1 September 1925) was the last Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Station.

On 7 June 1902 he was appointed in command of the new battleship HMS London, which was commissioned for service in the Mediterranean Fleet,[4] and left Portsmouth in early July for Gibraltar.

[7] Improved communications, the signing of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and the need to concentrate warships in British waters to counter the developing German High Seas Fleet, meant that the station was closed down at sunset on 1 March 1905.

[9] His final promotion was to Admiral in 1913[10] on his retirement,[11] although he was recalled to serve as a captain in the Royal Naval Reserve during World War I.

[13] He married Adeline Rose Helbert who helped with the founding of West Downs School.
