Sir James Brown Dougherty (13 November 1844 - 3 January, 1934) was Under-Secretary for Ireland from 1908-1914, and a Liberal MP for Londonderry City from 1914-18, succeeding fellow Liberal David Cleghorn Hogg. He was succeeded by Eoin MacNeill of Sinn Féin in the 1918 general election, who in line with abstentionist Sinn Féin policy refused to take his seat in the Commons and sat instead in the newly-convened Dáil Éireann.
