Sir Henry Jackson, 1st Baronet (22 August 1875 – 23 February 1937 [1]) was a British mineralogist [2] and later Conservative Party [3] politician.

He was elected at the 1924 general election as the member of parliament (MP) for Wandsworth Central, [3] but was narrowly defeated at the 1929 general election by the Labour Party candidate, Archibald Church. [3] At the next election, in 1931, Church did not stand again, and Jackson retook the seat with a large majority. [3] He was re-elected in 1935, [3] and held the seat until his death in 1937, [3] aged 61. [1]

He was knighted on 1 March 1924, [4] and made a baronet on 4 July 1935 [5] for "services in connection with transport questions". [6] The title became extinct on his death. [7]
