James Anthony Bailey ( July 4, 1847- April 11, 1906) was born James Anthony McGuiness in Detroit, Michigan, and died in Mount Vernon, New York. Orphaned at the age of eight, McGuinness was working as a bellhop in Pontiac, Michigan when he was discovered by Fred Harrison Bailey (a nephew of Hachaliah Bailey, namesake of Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia) whose surname James Anthony eventually adopted to become James A. Bailey.

Bailey later associated with James E. Cooper and was manager of Cooper's when he met Phineas Taylor Barnum. Together, Barnum and Bailey established Barnum and Bailey's Circus (for which Bailey was instrumental in obtaining Jumbo the Elephant) in 1881, and later joined with the Ringling Brothers to form the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus in 1919.

James Anthony Bailey was married to Ruth McCaddon of Zanesville, Ohio.
