James Allen Byrne (27 January 1911 – 5 September 1975) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, United States and became a miner by career.
He was first elected at the Kootenay East[1] riding in the 1949 general election, then re-elected there in the 1953, 1957, 1962, 1963 and 1965 elections.[2]
Byrne was not in Parliament for one term during this time due to his defeat in the 1958 election by Murray McFarlane of the Progressive Conservative party.[2]
Byrne was Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport from 1966 to 1968, and also served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Labour from 1963 to 1965.[3]
