James MacGregor (Gaelic: Seumas MacGriogair) (c. 1480 - 1551) was vicar of Fortingall and titular Dean of Lismore Cathedral during the 16th century. He was the chief compiler of The Book of the Dean of Lismore (Leabhar Deathan Lios Mòir), an important Scottish manuscript. Although the principal part of the manuscript's contents are in Gaelic, the manuscript as a whole is multilingual, and there are a significant number of texts written in Scots and Latin, including extracts from the Scots poets William Dunbar and Robert Henryson. Many of the Gaelic texts are of Irish provenance.
