James IV (March 17, 1473 – September 9, 1513) is the King of Scots from June 11, 1488 to his death.

He is generally regarded as the most successful of the Stewart monarchs of Scotland, but his reign ends with the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Flodden, where he becomes the last monarch not only from Scotland, but from all of Great Britain, to be killed in battle.
