Andrea Jean James (born January 16, 1967) is an American transgender rights activist, film producer, and blogger.
Herself a transgender woman, James has been a leading figure in protests against the work of sexologists including Ray Blanchard and J. Michael Bailey who she argues engage in the academic exploitation of transgender people.
