James (Son of Alphaeus) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus.

He has traditionally been identified with James the Just, bishop of Jerusalem.

Relation to Matthew[change]

Matthew/Levi is also called son of Alphaeus in the Gospel of Mark 2:14 so tradition has them as brothers but the New Testament does not state this, unlike the sons of Zebedee, Saint James and John.
