James Allan Gillison

James Allan Gillison (22 June 1892 – 15 August 1975) was a British-Australian doctor and politician.

Born in Melbourne to a Scottish family, Gillison grew up in New Zealand, and he studied engineering at Otago University. He then moved to Scotland, and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1920.

In his youth, Gillison was an evangelical Christian, but he moved away from this and became a socialist. He joined Alfred Salter's general practice in Bermondsey, in London. Like Salter, he joined the Labour Party, and at the 1934 London County Council election, Gillison was elected to represent Rotherhithe. He devoted much time to supporting refugees from the Spanish Civil War, and later from Nazi Germany.

Gillison retired to Jersey, where he died in 1975.
