James Miller Tunnell Jr. (June 17, 1910 – January 10, 1986) was a Delaware Democrat who ran for the U.S. Senate in 1966. He was the son of Senator James M. Tunnell and served on the Delaware Supreme Court from 1951 to 1954. When Delaware created its Supreme Court in 1951, Governor Elbert N. Carvel offered him and Daniel F. Wolcott seats; both said they would not serve as chief justice if the other was chief, so Carvel appointed them as associate justices and Clarence A. Southerland as chief justice.
