James the Less (Ancient Greek: Ἰάκωβος ὁ μικρός Iakōbos ho mikros) is a figure of early Christianity. He is also called "the Minor", "the Little", "the Lesser", or "the Younger", according to translation; James is styled "the Less" to distinguish him from the Apostle James the Great (also called "James the Elder"), with "Less" meaning younger or shorter rather than less important.
