Ernest Jackson (11 June 1914 – 1996) was an English footballer. He played as a right half.

Jackson joined Sheffield United from local amateur side Atlas & Norfolk F.C in 1932. He started in the third team, but within two years, he made his debut in a First Division match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Bramall Lane on 11 February 1933.

He did not win a regular place in the side until 1936, and, but for World War II, would have enjoyed twelve full season for the side.
