Montague Rhodes James, OM, MA, (1. august 1862 – 12. jun 1936), poznat pod književnim pseudonimom M. R. James, bio je ugledni britanski historičar specijaliziran za srednji vijek te provost King's Collegea na Cambridgeu (1905–1918) odnosno Eton Collegea (1918–1936). Široj javnosti je najpoznatiji po pričama o duhovima koje se smatraju jednima od najboljih u engleskoj književnosti. Jamesu se pripisuje to da je uspio redefinirati žanr time što je odbacio ranije norme gotske književnosti, odnosno uveo elemente realizma.
