James Douglas, 4th Earl of Angus (c. 1470–1528), was a Scottish nobleman known for his significant role in the politics of Scotland during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He was a member of the powerful Douglas family, which had a long history of influence in Scottish affairs. His tenure as Earl was marked by conflicts with rival factions, particularly the Stewart family, which sought to assert control over the Scottish crown. In 1513, James Douglas fought at the Battle of Flodden, where the Scottish army faced a devastating defeat against the English. Following this battle, he became involved in the political turmoil that ensued, including the struggle for power during the minority of James V of Scotland. His legacy is intertwined with the turbulent history of Scotland during this period.
