James John Alexander Parfitt KC (23 December 1857 – 17 May 1926) was an English judge who was called to the bar in 1887, and served as a County Court judge from 1918 until his death eight years later.
He did not approve of verbose counsel, and would often succinctly summarise their arguments.
He was known as a compassionate but businesslike judge. Early in life, he played as an amateur cricketer, appearing in fourteen first-class cricket matches during a career that spanned from 1881 until 1885.
Primarily used for his fast-medium pace bowling, Parfitt played for both Surrey and Somerset during this time, and later appeared for Warwickshire in second-class cricket.
