James McParland, né en Irlande en 1843 et mort en 1919, est un détective privé américain, agent de la Pinkerton National Detective Agency.

Arrivé à New York en 1867, il travaille dans un magasin de vins et spiritueux à Chicago jusqu'au jour où le grand incendie de Chicago de 1871 détruit son entreprise. Il devient alors détective.

McParland est connu pour sa lutte contre les Molly Maguires, pour son échec à l'encontre des dirigeants de la Fédération de l'Ouest des mineurs, et pour son apparition comme personnage dans La Vallée de la peur.
