James J. Carrigan is an American attorney and politician who served in the Massachusetts General Court.
Carrigan was born on April 25, 1941 in Malden, Massachusetts. He graduated from St. Mary's High School and Suffolk University and went on to work as a teacher.
In 1970, Carrigan was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. During his first term, state senator Charles V. Hogan died and Carrigan won the special election to succeed him. However, Carrigan was unable to win a full term, as he lost the 1972 Democratic primary to Walter J. Boverini by under 500 votes.
Carrigan later returned to Suffolk and earned a Juris Doctor from the Suffolk University Law School. He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1977.
