James Hewat McKenzie (1869–1929) was a British parapsychologist, and the founder of the British College of Psychic Science. McKenzie was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 11 November 1869 and died on 29 August 1929, in London.〔Buckland, Raymond (2005).

==Biography==
Through years of study and experimentation with hypnotists and mediums, Mckenzie wrote what is considered his main work, ''Spirit Intercourse: Its Theory and Practice'' in 1917. A number of pamphlets on the related topics also bear his name including his 1917 work ''If a Soldier Die'' in and ''Personal Experiences in Spiritualism'' 1920.〔 He left his practice as a psychologist and psychoanalyst in 1900 to pursue parapsychology and the occult sciences as a result of being disenfranchised by traditional theology and science not being able to reconcile themselves.〔Hazelgrove, Jenny (2000). ''Spiritualism and British Society Between the Wars''. Manchester University Press. pp. 16-17〕 He devoted his time to helping spiritual mediums develop their abilities, such mediums included Gladys Osborne Leonard, Franek Kluski, Maria Silbert and Eileen J. Garrett.〔
He spent a number of years touring and lecturing in the United States both seeking and studying mediums he also spent quite some time in the middle east, Germany, Austria, and Poland for this same purpose, finally returning home to England in 1920. McKenzie's contributions to parapsychology and its coming of age in the great spiritual movement of the early 20th century can be considered his greatest legacy, paving the way for future study of clairvoyance, extrasensory perception and remote viewing.〔 However, allegations of fraud and mismanagement, as well as hoaxing, plagued McKenzie's research. It is stated in the ''Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology'' "A devoted Spiritualist, McKenzie had no scientific training. Characterized by a strong, assertive personality, he was known to cover up evidence of fraud when he discovered it."〔(James Hewat Mckenzie )〕
