Siân James is a Welsh traditional folk singer and harpist who has recorded for Sain and BBC Records as well as her own label, Bos.

A native of the Mid Wales village of Llanerfyl in Powys, Siân James participated, from an early age, in local eisteddfodau, playing the piano, the violin and later the harp. While still a student at Llanfair Caereinion High School, she began composing her own songs and arranging traditional Welsh music. She subsequently went on to read music at the University of Wales, Bangor.

Having been a recording artist for Sain and the BBC, Siân James has, in the 2000s, recorded her work for Bos at her home studio in Llanerfyl.
