Jack Dougherty (born May 25, 1996) is an American ice hockey defenseman. In October 2013 he committed to play for the Wisconsin Badgers men's ice hockey team of the NCAA Big Ten Conference.[1] Dougherty was selected by the Nashville Predators in the second round (51st overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Dougherty was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, but grew up in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. He is rated as a top prospect[2] who was projected as a possible first round selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.[3] He trained with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program team during the 2013–14 season,[4] and was invited to participate in the 2013 CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game.[5]

On July 24, 2015, Dougherty signed a three-year entry level contract with the Predators. As a result, Dougherty was sent to the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League, the team which held his major junior rights.
