Sir James Porter Corry, 1st Baronet (8 September 1826 – 28 November 1891) was an Irish politician. He served as a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) from 1874 to 1891 and an Irish Unionist Alliance MP until his death.

Sir James was the son of Robert Corry, of Turnagardy (Tullinagardy/Tullynagardy), Newtownards, County Down, a quarry owner and Belfast timber merchant. Educated at the Royal Belfast Academic Institution, he entered the family timber firm, which was at that time occupied with building the growing industrial port of Belfast.

On 1 February 1886 he became the MP for Mid Armagh in a by-election following the death of John McKane. In July 1891, he joined the Irish Unionist Alliance. He died, in office, in November at his home, Dunraven on Belfast's Malone Road, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son, William.
