James Hartwell Fair, Jr. (born December 18, 1945) is a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from Bienville Parish in north Louisiana. A Democrat when he served in the House, Fair resides off Louisiana Highway 9 between Castor and Saline. He served in the state House for a single term from 1980 to 1984 during the administration of Governor David C. Treen.

Fair was unseated after a single term in the 1983 election by Jimmy L. Long, not to be confused with Jimmy D. Long, a businessman from Natchitoches, who served in the legislature from 1968-2000.
