Jason Dolph Thompson (born July 6, 1954 in Hollywood, California) is a former Major League Baseball first baseman. In eleven seasons, Thompson played with the Detroit Tigers (1976-80), California Angels (1980), Pittsburgh Pirates (1981-85) and Montreal Expos (1986). He threw and batted left-handed.

A three-time All-Star (1977-78, 1982), Thompson has been one of the few players in Major League history to have a 30 Homerun season in both the American and National League (31 with Detroit in 1977 and 31 for the Pirates in 1982). In that 1982 season, he became the third player in Pirate history to reach the 100-RBI, 100-walk plateau, finishing 5th in the NL in OPS with a .902 mark. A steady first baseman, he also led each league in total chances in 1977 and 1984.

Thompson was a career .261 hitter with 208 home runs and 782 RBI in 1418 games.
