About James P. Hosty
- James Patrick Hosty Jr.
- (August 28, 1924 – June 10, 2011) was an American FBI agent assigned to investigate Lee Harvey Oswald upon Oswald's June 1962 return to the United States after his defection to the Soviet Union.
- After Hosty made contact with Marina Oswald (a Soviet citizen) in order to interview her about her recent entry into the United States, Oswald wrote him a letter to protest the "harassment" of his wife Marina, and had Hosty's name and phone number in his address book.
- After the Kennedy assassination, Hosty did not disclose Oswald's letter about Marina to the Warren Commission and destroyed it on his superior's order.
- Because of this, Hosty attracted speculation as a possible conspirator in several conspiracy theories.
- Hosty was transferred to the FBI's Kansas City office until his mandatory retirement in 1979.
- Hosty later wrote a memoir about the Kennedy assassination, titled Assignment: Oswald.
