James Pryde (30 March 1866-24 February 1941) was a Scottish artist working mainly in graphics.

He was born in Edinburgh. His sister Mabel married William Nicholson in 1893, after the two had met while studying. They formed the 'Beggarstaff Brothers' partnership, which lasted only to about 1900, exploiting woodcuts in particular in innovative poster design.
