James Rowland Eubank (December 8, 1914 – November 9, 1952) was a lawyer from Alexandria, Louisiana, who served for six months during 1952 in the Louisiana House of Representatives for Rapides Parish. He died in office at the age of thirty-seven from a heart attack.
Eubank was a floor leader for Governor Robert F. Kennon. He was succeeded in the House by Lloyd George Teekell, another Alexandria lawyer who won a special election in 1953 to fill the remaining three years of Eubank's term.
Eubank was the only child of Maude Lee Eubank (1885-1958) and Benjamin Franklin Eubank (1882-1962), a former official of the Louisiana State Police and the state hospital system. Eubank and his wife, the former Katherine Bringhurst, had two children, Robert Benjamin Eubank (born 1942) and Elizabeth Tracy Eubank (born August 1943). Eubank was a maternal grandson of Swords Lee, a timber businessman in Pollock and Alexandria, who represented Grant Parish in the Louisiana House from 1904 to 1908. He was a descendant of the Lee family of Virginia. His middle name is derived from his great-grandmother, Martha Roland Lee, spelled without the "w".
