James Hutchinson Woodworth (December 4 1804 in Greenwich, New York - March 26 1869; buried in Oak Woods Cemetery, Chicago) twice served as Mayor of Chicago, Illinois (1848-1850) as an Independent Democrat.
Woodworth arrived in Chicago in 1835 and applied for a wharfing privilege. When work on the Illinois and Michigan Canal began, Woodworth and his brother-in-law, Theophilus Greenwood, contracted to do work on the canal. With his brother, he opened a dry goods store. As mayor, he presided over the opening of the Canal on April 16 1848. He returned to New York after his term as mayor and worked as a miller.
