James Innes (c.– 5 September 1759) was an American military commander and political figure in the Province of North Carolina who led troops both at home and abroad in the service of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Innes was given command of a company of North Carolina's provincial soldiers during the War of Jenkins' Ear, and served as Commander-in-Chief of all colonial soldiers in the Ohio River Valley in 1754 during the French and Indian War.
After resigning his commission in 1756, Innes retired to his home on the Cape Fear River.
A bequest made by Innes upon his death led to the establishment of Innes Academy in Wilmington, North Carolina.
