James Michael Hyde Villiers (29 September 1933 – 18 January 1998) was an English actor. He was described by The Independent as "one of the country's most distinctive character actors, with ripe articulation and a flair for displaying supercilious arrogance that put him in the Vincent Price class of screen villains".

A member of the Villiers family, he was a great-grandson of the 4th Earl of Clarendon and a grandson of Sir Francis Hyde Villiers.
