James Hasleby (born 1833, Stamford Lincs UK; died 1903, Northampton, Western Australia), was an English convict transported to Western Australia. He was one of only 37 convicts transported to the colony to overcome the social stigma of convictism to become schoolteachers, and one of only four convicts to be elected a member of a local Education Board. Notably, given his previous conviction at the Old Bailey, in 1893 he was appointed Clerk of the Local Court at Northampton.
