James Rust (1798 – 24 July 1875)^[1] was a British Conservative politician.

Rust was first elected Conservative MP for Huntingdonshire at a by-election in 1855—caused by the succession of William Montagu to 7th Duke of Manchester. He was again elected at the 1857 general election, although the vote unusually resulted in a triple return with his fellow incumbent Conservative MP Edward Fellowes securing the same number of votes as the Whig cricketer John Heathcote. After scrutiny, Heathcote was declared unduly elected a few months later.^[2] Rust held the seat until the 1859 general election when he did not stand.^[3]
