James Pascall (c.1838 -10 May 1918) was a confectioner and educationist.

Pascall worked as an agent for Cadbury's before establishing a business with his brother Alfred in a two-roomed shop in Wells Street off Oxford Street in 1866.

The business moved to larger premises in Blackfriars Road in 1877. This factory was destroyed by fire in 1897 and the company moved to Mitcham in the Surrey suburbs of London.

Pascall took an interest in civic and educational affairs: he was a justice of the peace for the County of London, a governor of the Borough Road Polytechnic, and a councillor of the Royal Eye Hospital

He was briefly a member of the London School Board when he was co-opted to fill a casual vacancy in the representation of Southwark on 19 June 1902. The board was abolished two years later.

He died at his home at Addiscombe Road, Croydon, in 1918 aged 80.
