James Grimston, 3rd Viscount Grimston
- James Grimston, 3rd Viscount Grimston
James Bucknall Grimston, 3rd Viscount Grimston (9 May 1747 – 30 December 1808), was a British peer and Member of Parliament.
Grimston was the son of James Grimston, 2nd Viscount Grimston, and Mary Bucknall. He succeeded his father in the viscountcy in 1773 but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. He was instead elected to the House of Commons for St Albans in 1783, a seat he held until 1874, and then represented Hertfordshire from 1784 to 1790. The latter year he was created Baron Verulam, of Gorhambury in the County of Hertford, in the Peerage of Great Britain, which gave him a seat in the House of Lords.
Lord Grimston married Harriot Walter, daughter of Edward Walter and Harriot Forrester, daughter of George Forrester, 5th Lord Forrester. He died in December 1808, aged 61, and was succeeded in his titles by his son James, who was created Earl of Verulam in 1815.
