James Barton (1890-1962) was an American actor, singer, dancer and comedian in vaudeville, theatre, film, and television. Barton was born in Gloucester City, New Jersey, into a theatrical family. His parents James Barton Sr. and Clara Barton were vaudeville performers who also managed their own repertory company. James Jr. made his debut as a child in a scene with his father and would spend the rest of his life performing.

After many years touring and appearing regionally, Barton hit the big time when he was cast in The Passing Show of 1919, produced by Broadway's reigning king, Florenz Ziegfeld. His star continued to burn bright on Broadway for the next decade or so, with roles in operettas such as The Last Waltz (1921), and The Rose of Stamboul (1922), the musical comedy Dew Drop Inn (1923), and revues such as The Passing Show of 1924, No Foolin' (1926) and Sweet and Low (1930).
