Sally James (born Sally Cann, 10 May 1950) is a British television presenter. She presented the ITV Saturday morning children's show Tiswas from 1977 until it ended in 1982. James's role on the show included conducting the "Almost Legendary Pop Interviews", interviewing musical acts including Elvis Costello, Sting, The Clash, Motörhead, and Kate Bush, and serving as music editor.
Before joining Tiswas, James was an actress, appearing in the films To Sir, with Love (1967), Journey to the Unknown (1969), The Railway Children (1970), and Never Too Young to Rock (1975). Her television roles included parts in Castle Haven (1969), Cousin Bette (1971), and The Black Arrow (1973–74).

Her book Sally James' Almost Legendary Pop Interviews was published in 1981.
After Tiswas ended in 1982, James presented Ultra Quiz and Six Fifty-five Special, the latter being a nightly BBC Two programme co-presented by James with David Soul. She now runs a business selling school uniforms.
