James Landon Knight (July 21, 1909 – February 5, 1991) was an American newspaper publisher and co-founder of the Knight Ridder group of newspapers.

The James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida is named in his honor.

He caught a then-record 585-pound blue marlin in 1964 on a fishing trip that saw the sinking of the family's 75-foot pleasure boat.
