James Matthews Legaré (November 26, 1823 in Charleston, South Carolina – March 30, 1859 in Aiken, South Carolina) was an American poet and inventor.
He was a relative of Hugh S. Legaré. He was by profession an inventor, artist, and author, but whose ill health prevented the commercialization of his devices. He contributed poetry to magazines, and published a single volume, Orta-Undis and other poems in 1848.[1]
