James King King (6 November 1806 – 17 June 1881)[1][2] was a British Conservative Party politician.

King King was the eldest son of James Simpkinson King (1767–1842) and Emma, daughter of Edward Vaux. He studied at Balliol College, Oxford, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in 1829. In 1835, he married Mary Cochrane Mackenzie, daughter of Kenneth Francis Mackenzie. She was a sister of Colin MacKenzie. Together they had three sons and seven daughters.[3]
