Harold Leon Jackson (born January 6, 1946 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi) was a National Football League wide receiver from 1968 through 1983.

After retiring from professional football, Jackson coached receivers for 10 years in the NFL with New England (1985-89), Tampa Bay (1992-93) and New Orleans (1997-99). In his first NFL season as a coach, the Patriots won the AFC Championship and played in the 1986 Super Bowl. In 1987 he suited for two of the Patriots replacement games, but did not play.

He is currently the wide receivers coach for Baylor University.
