Joseph Louis Jackson (25 November 1875 – 23 July 1943)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]

In August, 1901, the Argus newspaper wrote that Jackson "follows in fine form, plays a perfect fair game, marks well, is quick on his feet and kicks well".[3]

Jackson played many years with Rutherglen,[4] prior to playing with Border United in the Ovens & Murray Football League in 1901, prior to heading south to play with South Melbourne in 1901 and 1902.[5]

In 1907, Jackson was President of the Ovens & Murray Football League.[6]

Jackson was selected in Corowa Rutherglen Team of the Century in the back pocket in 2003.
