James Louis Lindsay (16 December 1906 – 27 August 1997) was a British Conservative Party politician.

At the 1955 general election he was elected as Member of Parliament for North Devon, succeeding Christopher Peto. He served for one term until the 1959 election, when he lost his seat by only 362 votes[1] to the Liberal candidate Jeremy Thorpe, who went on to become his party's leader.
