Andrea Jean James (born January 16, 1967) is an American transgender rights activist, film producer, and blogger.

Herself a transgender woman, James has been a leading figure in protests against the work of sexologists including Ray Blanchard and J. Michael Bailey who she argues engage in the academic exploitation of transgender people. Her tactics—which include targeting the families of those she opposes—have been described by critics as intimidation and harassment.

James runs the website Transgender Map, which contains advice for transgender people, as well as extensive information about those she considers anti-trans.
