Daniel James "Danny" Jackman (born 3 January 1983 in Worcester, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Northampton Town.

Jackman started his career at Premiership side Aston Villa as a trainee. However, Jackman never played for the first team although he did spend two loan spells; the first at Cambridge United, the second at Stockport County. Young Jackman had clearly made an impression at Stockport as they snapped him up in the middle of his loan spell for a fee of £70,000 in the 2003/04 season. Over the next season and a half, Jackman made 54 league appearances (9 as a substitute) scoring 5 goals.

At the beginning of the 2005/06 season Jackman joined recently-relegated League One side Gillingham. After a difficult start, during which the entire team struggled for results, Jackman found himself playing in the left wing position as well as the left back position. Following the departure of Tom Williams to Swansea in January 2006, Jackman found himself reverting to his favoured left-back position and his performances improved towards the end of the season, leading to him finishing as the runner-up in the club's Player of the Year awards and being voted players' player of the year.

He was awarded the "goal of the season" for 2006-07 for a goal at home to Brentford. He was offered a new contract with the Kent club but instead opted to sign for Northampton on 23 May 2007.[2]
