General Sir James Affleck, 3rd Baronet (29 April 1759 – 10 August 1833) was a British Army officer. Affleck's first service was during the American Revolutionary War, in which he was severely wounded at the Battle of Rhode Island in 1778. A cavalryman for most of his career, he served in India during the Third Anglo-Mysore War. Affleck took command of the 16th Light Dragoons in 1795 during the French Revolutionary Wars, serving in garrison in England.

At the start of the Napoleonic Wars in 1803 Affleck was appointed a brigadier-general to command Limerick, advancing to major-general in 1805. He moved to command the Irish Western Military District in 1809, and resigned from that post in 1811 upon his promotion to lieutenant-general. He saw no further service, being promoted to general in 1825.
