James Fitzroy McCarthy (1853–1919) was an Irish surveyor and cartographer who played a prominent role in the delimitation of the borders of Thailand (then known as Siam) in the late nineteenth century, helping transform the country into a modern nation-state.
He served as the first Director-General of the Royal Thai Survey Department, which was established in 1885.
