Ryan Jackson (born April 4, 1987) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Jackson nominated for the 2005 AFL draft, but was not selected. He was subsequently taken as a Rookie by the Carlton Football Club in the corresponding Rookie Draft. He began playing in the Northern Bullants reserves, before winning a regular Bullants senior position in round 9 against Tasmania, with limited ground-time at first. Within three weeks, he had cemented himself in the team, with high ground-time each week. He was elevated from the rookie list late in the season, and played his first game for Carlton in the final game of the season against Sydney. However, the 12-10 rule pushed him back into the Bullants' reserves during the VFL finals.
Jackson is a highly durable midfielder-attacker. He has sharp ball handling skills with a highly accurate kick. His play in the Bullants has also shown that he has great poise, and a tuned football brain.
