Everard Stanley Jackson (12 January 1914 – 20 September 1975) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A prop, Jackson represented East Coast, Hawke's Bay and Wellington at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, from 1938 to 1938. He played 11 matches for the All Blacks including six internationals.[1]

Of Ngāti Porou descent,[2] Jackson played for New Zealand Māori in 1936. During World War II, he served as an officer in the 28th (Māori) Battalion and lost a leg as a result of wounds received in an artillery barrage.[1][2]
