James Stewart, 5th Lord Innermeath (died 1586) was a Scottish peer, courtier and landowner.
He was the son of John Stewart, 4th Lord Innermeath and Elizabeth Beaton, daughter of David Betoun of Creich.
His younger brother was the court poet John Stewart of Baldynneis.
His maternal half-sister was Jean Stewart, Countess of Argyll.
He claimed in July 1582 that his family had held the right to the Colonelship of the Sherrifdom of Perth for generations, but Patrick Lord Drummond had challenged this right and stole away his court documents at the Market Cross of Dunblane.
