James Byrd may refer to:
James Byrd, Jr. (May 2, 1949 – June 7, 1998) was an African-American who was murdered by three men, of whom at least two were white supremacists, in Jasper, Texas, on June 7, 1998. Shawn Berry, Lawrence Russell Brewer, and John King dragged Byrd for three miles behind a pick-up truck along an asphalt road. Byrd, who remained conscious throughout most of the ordeal, was killed when his body hit the edge of a culvert, severing his right arm and head. The murderers drove on for another mile before dumping his torso in front of an African-American cemetery in Jasper. Byrd's lynching-by-dragging gave impetus to passage of a Texas hate crimes law. It later led to the federal Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, commonly known as the Matthew Shepard Act, which passed on October 22, 2009, and which President Barack Obama signed into law on October 28, 2009.
Lawrence Russell Brewer was executed by lethal injection for this crime by the state of Texas on September 21, 2011. King remains on Texas' death row while appeals are pending, while Berry was sentenced to life imprisonment.

A panel discusses Two Towns of Jasper, a documentary film that explores race relations in the town where James Byrd, Jr., an African American resident, was brutally dragged to death in 1998. Two Towns of Jasper is a collaborative effort between a black and a white filmmaker, using segregated crews, to document the town of Jasper during the trials of the three men charged with the murder. "The documentary is not so much about the murder of James Byrd Jr., as is it about two perspectives on the murder," according to co-producer Dow. "Listening to the black and white communities of Jasper talk about the crime turned out to be a pretty startling revelation about the depth of the division that exists between black and white Americans."
