Sir James Steuart, 3rd Baronet of Goodtrees and 7th Baronet of Coltness (; 8 October 1707 – 26 November 1780), also known as Sir James Steuart Denham and Sir James Denham Steuart, was a prominent Scottish Jacobite and author of "probably the first systematic treatise written in English about economics" and the first book in English with 'political economy' in the title.
He assumed the surname of Denham late in life; he inherited his cousin's baronetcy of Coltness in 1773.
