James Uriell (died 1423) was an Irish judge who held office as Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer.

He was born in County Dublin, son of Thomas Uriell, a landowner.[1] The Uriells were a Norman family who first settled in County Louth and are thought to have taken their name from the old Kingdom of Oriel.

He was married and had several daughters; most is known of Catherine, who married Robert Derpatrick (died 1420) lord of the manor of Stillorgan. [3]They had no male issue but Catherine in 1422 was granted as her dower part of the woods of Stillorgan and one third of the profits of the mill.[4]
