James Poovey (c.1769–unknown) was an 18th-century Philadelphian described by abolitionist Isaac Hopper in Tales of Oppression. According to Hopper, Poovey was enslaved from birth and sought manumission through non-violent disobedience, simply refusing to work. Although the accuracy of Tales of Oppression is debated by historians, some narratives have been verified through court records and other corroborating evidence held by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Hopper's written account of James Poovey's life was later edited and embellished by his colleague, abolitionist author Lydia Maria Child, who supplemented the narrative with her own recollections of how Hopper told the story.
