James Fulton (27 June 1830 – 20 November 1891) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament in Otago, New Zealand and a cricketer.

Biography

On 22 September 1852, he married Catherine Valpy. His wife was to become a prominent suffragette. He played five first-class cricket matches for Otago between 1863 and 1868.

He represented the Taieri electorate from 1879 to 1890 when he retired.

He was a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council in 1891, from 22 January to 20 November when he died. He was appointed as one of seven new members (including Harry Atkinson himself) appointed to the Council by the outgoing fourth Atkinson Ministry; a move regarded by Liberals as a stacking of the upper house against the new government.
