Danny Lynn Jackson (born January 5, 1962 in San Antonio, Texas) was a pitcher with a 15-year career from 1983 to 1997. He played for the Kansas City Royals of the American League and the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals and the San Diego Padres all of the National League.

He was elected to the National League All-Star team twice (1988 and 1994). He led the National League in wins in 1988 with 23 and, with 18-game winner Tom Browning, combined for the best pitching tandem in baseball that season. Jackson's great 1988 season went largely unnoticed because of the outstanding season turned in by the Dodgers' Orel Hershiser.

Jackson also played in three World Series for three different teams: 1985 for the Kansas City Royals, 1990 for the Cincinnati Reds, and 1993 for the Philadelphia Phillies.
