James D. Colt (born August 19, 1932 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American lawyer and politician who represented the 4th Essex District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1995 to 1997. Prior to serving in the House, Colt was a member of the Milton, Massachusetts Board of Selectmen from 1973 to 1982 and the Wenham, Massachusetts Board of Selectmen from 1990 to 1995.
Colt succeeded his friend Forrester Clark in the 4th Essex after Clark left the House to run for Massachusetts State Auditor. In 1996, Clark, who was upset over the fact Colt had went on vacation during the 1995 budget battle, challenged Colt for the Republican nomination. Clark defeated Colt by 58 votes.
