The James Ministry was the sixth Ministry of the Government of Western Australia and was led by Premier Walter James. It succeeded the Second Leake Ministry on 1 July 1902 following the death of the previous Premier, George Leake, on 24 June 1902.

The Daglish Ministry was sworn in on 10 August 1904. The members of the James Ministry were: References (no ISBN) Western Australian ministries Ministries of Edward VII
