Jason J. Servis (born April 2, 1957) is an American trainer of Thoroughbred racehorses.[1] He is best known for having trained Maximum Security, who finished first in the 2019 Kentucky Derby but was disqualified for interference.[2]

He is a brother of trainer John Servis, of Smarty Jones fame.[3][4]
