James Stewart (c. 1842 – 2 March 1879) was a pastoralist and politician in the colony of South Australia.

Alexander Stewart (c. 1799 – 15 January 1883), arrived in South Australia on the Duchess of Northumberland in December 1839 with his wife, two stepsons and two stepdaughters and settled on a property on the Mosquito Plains, near Naracoorte.

Some time before 1870 Alexander took over a cattle property "Woodlands" at Morphett Vale.

He was educated at Portland, Victoria, St. Peter's College, and Whinham's Grammar School in North Adelaide.

Alexander Stewart married again, on 1 July 1863, to the widow Mrs. Jane Hay[5] ( – c. 1884).
