Jason Roger Anderson (born June 9, 1979 in Danville, Illinois) is a Minor League Baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, the Columbus Clippers.

He attended the University of Illinois for two years, earning All-American honors, and he was drafted by the New York Yankees in 2000. In the 2003 season, he became the first player from the Staten Island Yankees to become a Major League Baseball player. He earned his first major league win in 22 appearances with the New York Yankees, but midway through the year, he was traded to the New York Mets in a deal that brought Armando Benitez to the Yankees.

In the 2004 season, Anderson was designated for assignment by the Mets, and the Cleveland Indians acquired him off waivers. He only pitched one inning for the team all year, giving up 5 runs, and in the next year, he rejoined the Yankees, making the major league roster after Paul Quantrill and Mike Stanton were designated for assignment.

His career stats include a 1-0 record, a 6.12 earned run average, and 17 strikeouts in 33.1 innings pitched.
