James Henry Nixon (1802–1857) was a British illustrator, painter, and graphic artist active during the Victorian period. He worked primarily in stained glass, notably with the firm Ward and Nixon. Nixon was a protégé of Charles Winston, who commended his stained glass work at Westminster Abbey and the Church of Christ the King, Bloomsbury. He was also a caricaturist.
Nixon's artistic practice extended beyond stained glass to include illustration and painting. His firm, Ward and Nixon, was later succeeded by Ward and Hughes, indicating a sustained presence in the field. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds an impression of "The embossed Suit of Armour from Strawberry Hill Purchased by Horace Walpole of Mons. de Crozet in 1772" (after 1842), attributed to him.
