James Robertson (June 28, 1742 – September 1, 1814) was an American explorer, soldier and Indian agent, and one of the founding fathers of what became the State of Tennessee.
An early companion of explorer Daniel Boone, Robertson helped establish the Watauga Association in the early 1770s, and to defend Fort Watauga from an attack by Cherokee in 1776.
In 1779, he co-founded what is now Nashville, and was instrumental in the settlement of Middle Tennessee.
He served as a brigadier general in the Southwest Territory militia in the early 1790s, and as an Indian Commissioner in later life.
