James Cornwallis, 4th Earl Cornwallis (25 February 1743–20 January 1824) was a British clergyman and peer.
Cornwallis was the third son of Charles Cornwallis, 1st Earl Cornwallis and his wife, Elizabeth. He was Rector of Ickham from 1769-73, of Addisham-with-Staple from 1770-81, of Newington in 1770, Prebendary of Westminster Cathedral from 1770-85, Vicar of Wrotham from 1771-85, Rector of Boughton Malherbe from 1773-85 and Dean of Canterbury from 1775-81. In 1781 he was appointed Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry and was Dean of Windsor from 1791-94 and Dean of Durham from 1794 before dying in office in 1824.
On 30 April 1771, Cornwallis had married Catherine Mann (a sister of Sir Horace Mann, 1st Baronet) and they had one child, James. In 1823, he inherited the earldom of Cornwallis from his nephew, Charles Cornwallis, 2nd Marquess Cornwallis but held the title for less than a year, when it passed to his son.
