James Nathan Calloway (1865 – after 1930) was an American agriculturalist.
Born in slavery in Tennessee, Calloway graduated from Fisk University before joining the faculty of the Tuskegee Institute.
Initially a lecturer in mathematics, he became involved in agricultural science and was appointed manager of the institute's largest farm in 1897. He was selected to lead an expedition to German Togoland in 1900 to promote the production of cotton there. Calloway bred a special strain of the plant suited to local conditions but returned to the United States a year later. The experimental station that he founded remained in use until 1919 and established cotton as a staple crop of the colony. He returned to Tuskegee as farm manager and taught agriculture there until at least 1930.
