James Richard Webber (28 August 1940 – 4 November 2024) was an Australian politician.
Webber is perhaps best known for ending Rex Pilbeam's record 30-year reign as the mayor of the Queensland city of Rockhampton.[1]
He was also known for helping coordinate an unorthodox rescue mission in 1986 to prevent two male chimpanzees from being euthanised.[2]
