James City County (formally, the County of James City) is a county located on the Virginia Peninsula in the Commonwealth of Virginia, a state of the United States. Its population is 48,102 (as of 2000), and it is often associated with Williamsburg, an independent city which borders James City County, and Jamestown which is within the county.

First settled by the English colonists in 1607 at Jamestown, the County was formally created in 1634 as James City Shire by order of King Charles I. James City County is considered one of only five original shires of the Virginia Colony to still be extant today in essentially the same political form.

Beginning in 2006, and extending into 2008, the county will host the Jamestown 2007 celebration to mark the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown Settlement.
