Jason Dodd, (born November 2, 1970, Bath), is a retired English footballer, who played for Southampton F.C. from 1989 to 2005 and is now manager at Eastleigh F.C. in the Conference South.

He joined Southampton from Bath City F.C. in 1989 for £15,000.

He was due to retire at the end of the 2004-05 season, during which he spent time on loan to Plymouth Argyle; however, after his contract expired with Southampton he left to join Brighton & Hove Albion. However, he made only seven appearance for Brighton during his year at the club due to injury.

In July 2006 he joined Conference South team Eastleigh on a free transfer, to play alongside former Southampton colleague, Francis Benali. Unfortunately, a recurrence of his ankle injury prevented him playing after the first 3 games of the 2006-07 season, and on 6 November 2006 it was announced that he had retired from playing and was appointed head coach to Eastleigh F.C.

On 5 December 2006, Jason Dodd was appointed Manager at Eastleigh taking over from Paul Doswell who has been appointed Director of football[1].

As of September 2006, he holds the record for the most Premiership appearances by an English player without ever being named in an England squad.
