Jesse Woodson James (Kearney, 5 settembre 1847 – St. Joseph, 3 aprile 1882) è stato un pistolero statunitense. Famosissimo per la sua proverbiale mira, conobbe la vita dura e violenta del Missouri, stato di frontiera in piena guerra di secessione americana. Combatté con i confederati ma divenne tristemente famoso compiendo numerose rapine a banche e treni unionisti in Missouri, Kentucky, Iowa, Texas, Mississippi, Minnesota insieme al fratello Frank, i fratelli John, Cole, Jim e Robert Younger, William "Bloody" Anderson, i fratelli Ed e Clell Miller, William Clarke Quantrill, Archie Clement e Dave Pool. Divenne l'icona del rancore del Sud fino alla sua morte avvenuta per tradimento da parte di un neo-membro della sua banda, Robert Ford, nel 1882.
