Sir James Agar, 1st Viscount Clifden, MP,(1735-1788) was a member of the Irish House of Commons. He was the second son of Henry Agar, MP for Gowran, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland, and Anne Ellis, and probably born at Gowran Castle. In addition to being MP for Tralee, he controlled three other borough seats through the strength of his family holdings. He was created Viscount Clifden in 1781, after which his seat came to be occupied by Sir Boyle Roche. Agar's younger brother was Charles Agar, first Earl of Normanton (1736–1809), who became the Church of Ireland archbishop of Dublin.
