James Drummond, 6th Earl and 3rd titular Duke of Perth (11 May 1713 – 13 May 1746) was a Scottish landowner best known for his participation in the Jacobite rising of 1745, during which Charles Edward Stuart attempted to regain the British throne for the House of Stuart.

Perth was one of two active lieutenant-generals of the Jacobite Army, although past historiography of the rising has tended to minimise his role.^[1] Following the defeat at Culloden, he escaped on a French ship with several other Jacobite leaders, but died during the voyage.
