Sir James Grant, 8th Baronet (19 May 1738-18 February 1811), was a Scottish Member of Parliament.
Grant was the son of Sir Ludovick Grant, 7th Baronet, and Lady Margaret Ogilvy, daughter of the statesman James Ogilvy, 1st Earl of Seafield. He succeeded his father as eighth Baronet of Colquhoun in 1773. Grant was elected to the House of Commons for Elginshire in 1761 (succeeding his father), a seat he held until 1768, and later represented Banffshire from 1790 to 1795. He also served as Lord Lieutenant of Inverness-shire.
Grant married Jean Duff, daughter of Alexander Duff, in 1763. He died in February 1811, aged 72, and was succeeded by his son Lewis Alexander Grant, who later that year succeeded his second cousin as fifth Earl of Seafield.
