James FitzGerald is a Toronto journalist and author born in 1950. His first book, "Old Boys: The Powerful Legacy of Upper Canada College" (Macfarlane, Walter & Ross, 1994), was a controversial inside look at the attitudes and mores of Canada’s ruling class. Revelations of the sexual abuse of boys at the school, first published in the book, sparked the conviction of three former teachers and a successful multi-million dollar class action lawsuit against UCC in 2002.

FitzGerald's second book, "What Disturbs Our Blood: A Son's Quest To Redeem The Past", was published by Random House Canada in 2010. The Toronto Life article that sparked "What Disturbs Our Blood" won a National Magazine Award in Canada in 2002.
