James Alexander Campbell (1825-1908) was a businessman and Conservative MP for Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities.

Campbell was the son of Sir James Campbell, Lord Provost 1840-1843, and the brother of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Prime Minister, 1905-1908. He was a partner in the family firm, J & W Campbell, wholesale merchants. On the death of his father in 1876 he inherited the Stracathro estate near Brechin.

The Glasgow News was established in 1873 as Scotland's first Conservative newspaper.
