James Wingfield Golucke (1857–1907), often known as J.W. Golucke, was an American architect based in Atlanta, Georgia. His place of birth is unknown but it was either Taliaferro County or more likely Wilkes County to Cornelia Susan Wingfield and Edmund Golucke, a German cabinetmaker. In 1878, he married Amulette A. Darracott.
Golucke was a self-taught architect who began practicing in Atlanta in 1891. He worked alone and also partnered with Golucke & Stewart. On his own, he designed about 15 courthouses in Georgia. With partner George Wilson Stewart, he designed five Georgia courthouses and other buildings such as the Fitzpatrick Hotel. with Little is known about Stewart besides that he practiced by himself after 1900, including acting as an assisting architect for the Candler Building during its 1903-1906 construction in Atlanta.
Many of Golucke's works, alone or with partners, are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
