Sir James Liege Hulett (17 May 1838–1928) was a sugar magnate and philanthropist in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, originally from Kent, England.
Hulett founded what would become Tongaat-Hulett Sugar Limited in 1892. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed company is today a multi-billion rand corporation.
Another legacy is his founding of Kearsney College in 1921, a now world-famous private school for boys.
