Sir James Rose Innes KCMG PC KC (8 January 1855 – 16 January 1942) was the Chief Justice of South Africa from 1914 to 1927 and, in the view of many, its greatest ever judge. Before becoming a judge he was a member of the Cape Parliament, the Cape Colony's Attorney-General, and a prominent critic of Cecil John Rhodes. His maternal grandson was Helmuth James Graf von Moltke, a prominent opponent of the Third Reich.
