James MacArthur Moir (died 1872) was a Scottish miller and laird. He owned a large tract of land in Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, which was partly built on his Milton estate. McArthur (sic) and Moir Streets in the town are named for him.

What is now known as Dunoon's East Bay was originally named Milton Bay. Milton Burn still runs south and east through Dunoon and discharges into East Bay.
