Harold Jackson (25 September 1888 – 17 December 1979)[1] was an Irish cricketer. A left-handed batsman, he played twice for the Ireland cricket team in the 1920s[2] including one first-class match.[3]

Early in his career, Jackson played for an Ulster side against an Indian team that was touring England in 1911, scoring two runs in the Ulster second innings.[4] However, he did not play for the Ireland team until June 1923, when he played against Scotland which was his only first-class match. He played once more, in June 1924, against Wales in Belfast. His brother, Finlay, also played cricket for Ireland.
