Major-General Sir James Kyrle-Money, 1st Baronet (15 August 1775[1] – 26 June 1843) was a British soldier and landowner.

Born James Money, he was the eldest son of William Money, of Homme House, Much Marcle, Herefordshire, and Mary Webster, daughter of William Webster, of Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham. He was a descendant of Francis Money, of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, who married Elizabeth Washbourne, daughter and heiress of William Washbourne and Hester Ernle, daughter and heiress of Sir John Ernle and Vincentia Kyrle, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Kyrle, of Much Marcle.[2] He succeeded to his father's estate at Homme House in 1808 and assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Kyrle in 1809.[3]

He served in the British Army and was made an ensign in 1793, a major in 1804, a lieutenant-colonel in 1811, a colonel in 1825 and a major-general in 1838.[4] The latter year he was also created a baronet, of Hom House in the County of Hereford, Whetham in the County of Wiltshire and Pitsford in the County of Northampton, in 1838.[5]

He died in June 1843 when the title became extinct. Kyrle-Money had married Caroline Anne Taylor, daughter of Robert Taylor, of London, in 1809, but the marriage was childless.[2] His estates, including Homme House, passed to his brother William, who changed his name by Royal Licence to William Money Kyrle.[6]
