James Henry Porteous Oakes (28 September, 1821, Nowton – 22 January, 1901, Nowton)[1] was a British Conservative politician.

James was the son of Henry Oakes and Maria Ann Porteus.[2]

Oakes was elected Conservative MP for Bury St Edmunds at a by-election in 1852—caused by the appointment of John Stuart as a Vice-Chancellor in the Court of Chancery—and held the seat until 1857 when he was defeated.[3]
