James Hinton (baptised 26 November 1822 – 16 December 1875) was an English surgeon and author. He was the father of mathematician Charles Howard Hinton. He was an outspoken advocate of polygamy. He appears as a character in fictional accounts of the 19th century English serial murderer known as Jack the Ripper, and his thinking on prostitution may have influenced another physician who some suspect to be the killer.
