James Canon Jarvis (c. 1787 – 2 February 1800) was a midshipman in the United States Navy during the Quasi-War with France.
Jarvis was the son of James Jarvis of New York.
Honoring Jarvis for his bravery and devotion to duty, the Sixth Congress by Joint Resolution 29 March 1800 deemed his conduct "deserving of the highest praise" and his loss "a subject of National regret."
