James LeBrecht is a filmmaker, sound designer, and disability rights activist. LeBrecht was born in New York with spina bifida, a birth defect in the spinal cord.

He later became a member of Disabled in Action. He attended the University of California, San Diego, where he helped form the Disabled Student Union.

After college, LeBrecht relocated to Berkeley, California, where the disability rights movement was developing at the Center for Independent Living. In Berkeley, he worked as a sound designer.

Over the years, LeBrecht has done sound design work for over 145 films, with a particular focus on documentary films. His filmography includes Minding the Gap, The Waiting Room, The Island President, The Kill Team, Audrie & Daisy, Battlefield Earth, and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.
