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

He joined Southampton from Bath City 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.

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.
