James Dawson (5 July 1806 – 19 April 1900) was a prominent champion of Aboriginal interests.
He was born at Bonnytoun, Linlithgow, Scotland, the son of a whisky distiller. He arrived in Hobsons Bay, Port Phillip, Australia on 2 May 1840 with his wife Joan Anderson Park, niece of Mungo Park.
He tried dairy farming in the Yarra valley for a time but moved to broader pastures in the Port Fairy district in 1844.
For the next 22 years Dawson was in partnership in a cattle and sheep station, "Cox's Heifer Station" later named Kangatong, some 10 miles east of Macarthur.
