Ruaridh James Howard Jackson (born 12 February 1988) is a Scottish rugby union footballer.

Jackson made his international debut for Scotland in the autumn of 2010, coming on as a substitute in the test against the All Blacks. He also came off the bench against Samoa two weeks later, kicking the winning penalty goal in the 80th minute in a match played at Aberdeen, Jackson's home town.[1] Jackson was the starting Fly-Half for Scotland's 2013 Six Nations campaign, but failed to bring the best from Scotland's attacking players. He was dropped halfway through the Championship for Glasgow teammate Duncan Weir.[2]

In the 2013/14 season, Jackson was again a back-up for Duncan Weir for Glasgow and Scotland. In March 2014 it was reported that he would not be offered another contact from Glasgow.[3] As of the 2014–15 season, he will play for English side Wasps in the Aviva Premiership.[4]
