        Sir James Archibald Hope was a British general born in 1785. He joined the British Army in 1800 and, though he began his service in Nova Scotia, was active in the Peninsular War during the Napoleonic Wars.

He achieved the title of General in 1859 and received the GCB among other honours. Hope was married to Christiana Elizabeth, and they had three children together.
