James Driscoll (1931–2003) was an American legislative officer who served as the 34th Chief Clerk of the California Assembly. He holds a significant place in the history of California's state government, having become the first Chief Clerk to serve the Assembly after the state legislature transitioned into a full-time body in 1966.
Throughout his career, Driscoll maintained a strictly nonpartisan stance while managing the administrative duties of the Assembly. His professionalism and dedication to the legislative process enabled him to serve under five different Speakers of the Assembly, representing both major political parties, specifically four Democrats and one Republican.
