James C. Kellogg III (1915–1980) held the position of Chairman at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and led the Board of Governors for the New York Stock Exchange.

After completing his education at the Pingry School in 1933, Kellogg became the youngest individual to acquire a seat on the NYSE at 21 years old in 1936, eventually ascending to the role of its youngest chairman from 1956 through 1958. He was a senior partner at the Wall Street firm Spear, Leeds & Kellogg, a position subsequently assumed by his son, Peter Kellogg. This firm was purchased by Goldman Sachs in 2000 for $6.5 billion.

Kellogg was notably influential in Elizabeth and Bay Head, New Jersey, where his family possessed extensive land assets and contributed several parks to the local community. He was related as a nephew to industrialist M.W. Kellogg.

In addition to his business endeavors, Kellogg engaged in politics as a Democratic candidate for Union County Freeholder in 1954. He also served as a trustee for Children's Specialized Hospital and the South Street Seaport Museum, and participated on the finance committee at Williams College.
