James Logan Colbert (c. 1720 – 7 January 1784) was a Scottish trader and army officer who lived much of his life among the Chickasaw. He served as an officer of the British Army who commanded an independent company in the Western Theater of the American Revolutionary War. In 1783, Colbert led an unsuccessful raid on the Spanish village of Arkansas Post, Louisiana (present-day Arkansas) in an attempt to capture Fort Carlos III.
