Dr James Wolfe (* 2. Januar 1727 z Westerham, Kent; † 13. September 1759) isch e britische General gsi. Si Rolle bi dr Eroberig vo Kanada dur Groossbritannie im Siibejöörige Chrieg isch vo groosser Bedütig gsi. Won er am 13. Septämber 1759 d Stadt Quebec in dr Schlacht uf dr Abraham-Eebeni iignoo het, isch das dr Wändipunkt in de Franzoose- und Indianerchrieg gsi, wo de Brite d Herrschaft über Kanada brocht het. Dr Wolfe isch in dere Schlacht schweer verwundet worde und no am gliiche Daag gstorbe. Er isch in dr St Alfege Chille z Greenwich begraabe worde und me het em e Dänggmol in dr Westminster Abbey ufgstellt.

Dr Wolfe isch vo sine Soldaate vereert worde, au vo de schottische Hoochländer, won er no 1745/46 gege sä kämpft het. Si Dood isch e groosse Verlust für die britischi Armee gsi, wo in deere Zit fast käini fähige Kommandöör ghaa het, wie es sich spööter im amerikanische Unabhängigkäitschrieg (1775 bis 1783 ) zäigt het.
