Reverend James Hughes (c.1862 - 27 May 1909) was a Church of England clergyman. Hughes had a doctorate of laws awarded by Trinity College, Dublin, and was ordained a deacon in 1888 and a priest in 1889. He was appointed curate of St Mark's Battersea before moving to St Andrew's Boscombe, near Bournemouth in 1892. He returned to London in 1895 as curate at St Nicholas, Plumstead. His congregations at Plumstead were largely working class and this led to him taking an interest in local affairs. He was elected as a "Progressive" member of the London School Board, representing Lambeth West, in 1900.
