James Johnstone Rogerson (March 21, 1820 – October 17, 1907) was a businessman, political figure and philanthropist in Newfoundland.
He represented Burin from 1859 to 1861 and Bay de Verde from 1870 to 1882 in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly.
He did not run for reelection in 1861 but was elected again in an 1870 by-election held after John Bemister resigned to accept a position as sheriff.
Rogerson established a home for fishermen and sailors and an agency to find employment for workers in winter.
He also supported the education of poor children and juveniles in prison, and literacy programs for people living in remote locations on the island.
