James R. Law, Jr. (1885–1952) was Mayor of Madison, Wisconsin. He held the position from 1932 to 1943.

Before his mayorship, Law worked for an architectural firm.

During his mayorship, he was named to an advisory board to aid the federal government in preparing legislation that would affect municipalities. He also joined 32 other US mayors in co-signing a 1938 message to the International Peace Campaign expressing "horror and indignation" at bombing violence happening in other parts of the world.

After serving as mayor, Law served as the chair of Wisconsin's state highway commission, and ran for the governorship of Wisconsin as a Republican.
