Sir Henry Jackson, 1st Baronet (22 August 1875 – 23 February 1937),[1] was a British Conservative Party[2] politician.

He was elected at the 1924 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Wandsworth Central,[2] but was narrowly defeated at the 1929 general election by the Labour Party candidate, Archibald Church.[2] At the next election, in 1931, Church did not stand again, and Jackson retook the seat with a large majority.[2] He was re-elected in 1935,[2] and held the seat until his death in 1937,[2] aged 61.[1]

He was knighted on 1 March 1924,[3] and made a baronet on 4 July 1935[4] for "services in connection with transport questions".[5] The title became extinct on his death.[6]
