  • Sir James Wood, 2nd Baronet (died 1738) was a Scottish officer of the Dutch States Army and later the British Army. He was the son of Sir John Wood, 1st Baronet, of Bonyngtoun in Forfarshire, by his wife Anne, daughter of .

He reached the rank of brigadier general in 1704. In recognition of his Dutch military reputation Wood was also made brigadier general in the British service, and on 9 March 1727 was appointed colonel of the Royal North British Fusiliers. He was promoted to major general on 27 October 1735. Wood succeeded to the baronetcy in January 1693 and was served heir to his father 10 August 1704. On 22 February 1731 he married Anne, daughter of Edward Jones, the Master of the Royal Vineyard in St James's Park.
