James Munro (7 January 1832 – 25 February 1908) was an Australian businessman and colonial politician, and the 15th Premier of Victoria. He is best known as one of the leading figures in the land boom of the 1880s and especially the subsequent crash of the early 1890s, where his Christian morals were seen to clash with his business activities. He was also the former Commonwealth Secretary, and an able Minister in Victorian Liberal-National governments in Melbourne, Perth and Canberra, the longest-serving major Minister for Australian colonies.
