James Edward "Ned" Wyatt (September 24, 1860 – May 4, 1932) was a lawyer and political figure on Prince Edward Island. He represented 5th Prince in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island from 1908 to 1915 as a Conservative.

He was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, the son of William Wyatt, and was educated at Prince of Wales College. He married Cecilia, the daughter of John Lefurgey. Wyatt studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1883 and set up practice in Summerside with his brother-in-law J.E. Lefurgey.
