Craig, Sir James (Henry)(born 1748, Gibraltar—died Jan. 12, 1812, London, Eng.) British army officer and governor-general of Canada (1807–11). In the American Revolution, he was wounded at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 and helped repel the American army's invasion of Canada in 1776. He later served in India. As governor-general in Canada, he cooperated with the governing clique in Quebec but conducted an unpopular repressive policy toward French Canadians. He resigned in 1811 and returned to England.
