Trevor James is a British woodwind instrument brand based in Lenham, Kent, that grew out of a London flute repair shop run by Trevor James. The company began designing and producing its own flutes in the early 1980s and later expanded into saxophones, with its instruments distributed internationally through a network spanning dozens of countries. Research and development is carried out in the UK, with manufacturing partnerships abroad, under the parent organisation Worldwind Music.

The flute catalogue covers the full range from beginner through to handmade professional models, with lines including the entry-level TJ 10x and TJ Cantabile, the step-up Privilege and Voce silver flutes, and the Chanson hand-finished series. The range extends beyond the standard C flute to piccolos (in grenadilla, mopane and silver-head configurations), alto flutes in both the Performer and Voce ranges, and a handmade 925 silver bass flute. The TJ saxophone line, established in 1992 under the sister brand TJ Saxes, includes alto, tenor and soprano models aimed at students through advancing players.

The brand is particularly associated with affordable student and intermediate flutes that punch above their price point, and its handmade instruments are used by a number of classical and jazz flute performers. The company also produces the Talking Flutes podcast, featuring interviews with flautists and discussions of repertoire and technique.

Trevor James has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Alto Saxophones and Trumpets.
