James McNeil Stephenson (November 4, 1796 – April 16, 1877) was an American lawyer, businessman and politician who served several terms in the Virginia House of Delegates representing western Virginia counties which in his lifetime became part of the state of West Virginia. His is probably not related to James Stephenson who represented western Virginia counties (now in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia) in the Virginia House of Delegates and U.S. Congress, nor schoolteacher Benjamin L. Stephenson (1826-1871) of Clay County, West Virginia who helped found the new state.[1]
