Arthur Horace James (July 14, 1883 – April 27, 1973) was an American politician. He served as the governor of Pennsylvania from 1939 until 1943.
He was elected governor as a Republican when the Democratic machine (led by U.S. Senator Joe Guffey) decided not to support the popular Democratic Lieutenant Governor Thomas Kennedy, who was a close associate of United Mine Workers union head John Lewis.
