James Lackington (Born in Wellington, Somerset, 31 August 1746; died in Budleigh Salterton, Devon, 22 November 1815) was a bookseller who is credited with revolutionizing the British book trade. A shoemaker's son trained as a cobbler, he showed early initiative by selling pies and cakes in the street when aged 10 and teaching himself to read. In August 1773, Lackington arrived in London with two shillings and sixpence, and would eventually become a wealthy man.
