Jackie Landry Jackson (May 22, 1941 – December 23, 1997) was a member of The Chantels, the first nationally-successful black female pop music group. She died in 1997 of breast cancer.

After her initial singing career ended she became a Grand Jury Stenographer for the Bronx District Attorney. She rarely spoke about her experiences with the Chantels while employed in the District Attorney's Office. When Oldies and Rock and Roll revivals came into vogue, she revisited her singing career.
