James Lynch (fitz Ambrose) (fl.1574–1591) was Mayor of Galway from 1590 to 1591. Lynch was a member of The Tribes of Galway. He appears to have been the first merchant of Galway with an ownership claim to the Aran Islands, becoming involved with a dispute concerning the town's Corporation's customs to the then owners, the Clan Tiege of Aran, and subsequent ownership issues with Murrough na dTuadh Ó Flaithbheartaigh, Lord of Iar Connacht (fl. 1569–1593). Murrough mac Toirdelbach Ó Briain, Chief of the Name, (fl. 1575–1588) made an agreement with Lynch in June that if the Clan Teige should become extinct, he "should be their sole heir and possess Aron and their whole islands."
