Boney James (né James Oppenheim, le 1er septembre 1961 à Lowell, dans le Massachusetts) est un saxophoniste, auteur-compositeur et producteur américain qui a popularisé le mouvement Urban jazz, un sous-genre rattaché au Smooth jazz qui contient des éléments de Hip-Hop et de R'n'B contemporain particulièrement marqués. Il est l'un des instrumentistes actuels les plus prisés du grand public, totalisant 3 millions de disques vendus.

D'autres artistes célèbres, principalement issus des scènes Soul/R&B et Smooth jazz, ont fait des apparitions sur ses albums, parmi lesquels Faith Evans, George Benson, Dwele, Al Jarreau, Philip Bailey, Anthony Hamilton, Jaheim, Eric Benét, Dave Hollister, Esthero, Meshell Ndegeocello et Angie Stone.
