James Fellowes FRAS (21 August 1841 – 3 May 1916) was an English first-class cricketer, cricket administrator, and an officer in the Royal Engineers. As a first-class cricketer, he was mostly associated with Kent County Cricket Club and Hampshire County Cricket Club. At Hampshire, he was joint-secretary alongside Russell Bencraft from 1883 to 1885, later serving as honorary secretary until 1887. He was an important figure in the relocation of Hampshire from the Antelope Ground to the County Ground in Southampton in 1885.
