James Howard Edmondson (September 27, 1925 – November 17, 1971) was an American politician from the U.S. state of Oklahoma. He served as the 16th governor of Oklahoma from 1959 to 1963, and an appointed United States Senator from Oklahoma from 1963 to 1964, ousted by voters who elected Fred R. Harris in a special election for the U.S. Senate. Elected Governor at the age of 33, Edmondson is still the youngest governor in the history of the state.
