Darren Jackson (born 7 December 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

A full-forward from Finley, Jackson came to Geelong after winning the Murray Football League's leading goal-kicker award in 1983.[2][3] He made two senior appearances for Geelong in the 1984 VFL season, against Collingwood at Kardinia Park in round seven and Essendon at Waverley Park in round eight.[4]

Jackson went on to have a long and decorated career at Finley, being the Murray Football League leading-kicker a further three times, in 1986, 1989 and 1997.[3] He also had a stint with South Adelaide.[5]

In 2015 Jackson took on the role of Senior Coach for the Northern Jests (Ardlethan/Ariah Park/Mirrool) in the Farrer Football League.
