James Paynter (1666 - ?) was the leader of a Jacobite uprising in Cornwall in the 18th century. In 1715 he took an active part in proclaiming James Francis Edward Stuart (the Old Pretender) on the death of Queen Anne, for this he was tried for High Treason at Launceston but claiming his right as a Cornish tinner he was tried in front of a jury of other Cornish tinners and was acquitted. He then was and welcomed by "bonfire and by ball" from thence to the Land's End. For his actions he was created Marquess of Trelissick (also called Marquis of Trelessick) in the Jacobite Peerage on 20 June 1715.
