James Brockett Tudhope

James Brockett Tudhope (March 21, 1858 – February 3, 1936) was a Canadian manufacturer and politician.

Tudhope was born in Oro Township, Canada West in 1858, the son of William Tudhope, a carriage manufacturer. In 1897, he formed the Tudhope Carriage Company in Orillia with his brothers. In 1902, with partner Harry Anderson, Tudhope established a company which manufactured agricultural implements. Following a fire at the carriage factory, in 1910, he formed the Tudhope Motor Company which manufactured automobiles. Production was converted for military use during World War I and vehicle production was not resumed following the war. In 1928, a new company was formed that produced specialty metal products, such as electrical appliances. Following his death in 1936, his son took over the operation of the company.

Tudhope was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1902 for the riding of Simcoe East. A Liberal, he was re-elected in 1905 and 1908. In 1917, he was elected to the Canadian House of Commons for the riding of Simcoe East.

Tudhope also served as reeve and mayor for Orillia.
