James To Kun-sun (born 11 March 1963, Hong Kong) is a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong representing the Kowloon West constituency. James To was also a member of the Yau Tsim Mong District Council. Since 2016, To is the most senior member in the Legislative Council.
He was Hong Kong's youngest legislator when first elected.
In June 2010, he expressed open scepticism of the Democratic Party's support for the government's 2012 constitutional reform package but nevertheless toed the party line and voted for the measure. The party had secured the inclusion of a late amendment to hold a popular vote for five new District Council functional constituencies. In a dissenting speech to Legco, he warned of the creation of "super-functional constituencies" with an apparently larger mandate than that of geographical constituency lawmakers.
In January 2008, To divorced his wife, Cherry Yuen Choi-lin, over her alleged extramarital affairs. They did not have any children. On 12 December 2009, he married his second wife, Sue So. They had a son in 2012.
