James McBride (b. 1957) is an American writer and musician whose compositions have been recorded by a variety of other musicians. He is a graduate of Oberlin College and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University.

As a journalist, he was on the staffs of many well-known publications, including The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and People magazine. He has written pieces for Rolling Stone magazine, Us magazine, and others.

McBride is especially known for his 1996 memoir, The Color of Water which describes his life growing up in a large African American family led by a white, devoutly Christian (and formerly Jewish) mother. In 2003, he published a novel, Miracle at St. Anna, drawing on the history of the overwhelmingly African American 92nd Infantry Division in the Italian campaign from mid-1944 to April 1945.

As of 2005, he has published the first volume of The Process, a CD-based documentary about life as lived by low-profile jazz musicians.
