James Wilson (1862 – 24 September 1925) was an English-born Australian politician.
He was born at Redditch to labourer James Wilson and Martha Collins.
He was secretary of the Confectioners Employees Union and its delegate to the Trades and Labor Council, of which he was president in 1892.
He was a Labor member of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1899 until his death in 1925.
He was reportedly a prominent Labor figure, "brilliant speaker" and sought-after campaigner in his earlier years, but suffered from ailing health and was "not prominent" later in his career, rarely attending the last session before his death.
