James Mill (born James Milne;^[1] 6 April 1773 – 23 June 1836^[2]) was a Scottish historian, economist, political theorist and philosopher. He is counted among the founders of the Ricardian school of economics.^[3] He also wrote The History of British India (1817) and was one of the prominent historians to take a colonial approach.^[4] He was the first writer to divide Indian history into three parts: Hindu, Muslim and British,^[5][2] a classification which has proved surpassingly influential in the field of Indian historical studies.

Mill was the father of John Stuart Mill, a noted philosopher of liberalism and utilitarianism, and a colonial administrator at the East India Company.
