James Goodridge (1852 – March 13, 1900) was a politician in Alberta, Canada and a municipal councillor in Edmonton.

He later moved to Winnipeg before coming west to Edmonton by ox-train in 1882.

Jasper House, which was eventually renovated into the Hub Hotel, also served as Goodridge's home.

He was elected to Edmonton's first town council in 1892, finishing fourth of fourteen candidates in the aldermanic race (the top six candidates were elected).

Goodridge continued to operate the Hub hotel until his death in 1900.
