James Bruce (c. 1660/61–1730) was an Irish Presbyterian minister, the eldest son of Michael Bruce. He was minister of Killeleagh, County Down in 1684; but fled to Scotland in 1689; returned to Killeleagh in 1692, and founded a Presbyterian college there in 1697. He joined the subscribers to the Westminster Confession in 1721, but was tolerant to the non-subscribers.
