James Tolmie (September 9, 1855 – December 7, 1917) was a farmer and political figure in British Columbia. He represented Victoria in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1888 to 1890.
He was born in Fort Nisqually, the son of William Fraser Tolmie and Jane Work, and was educated in Victoria.
