Stu Jackson (born December 11, 1955) is a former head coach and current executive in the National Basketball Association. He has coached two different NBA teams; the New York Knicks in 1990 and 1991, and the Vancouver Grizzlies in 1997; he also has served as the Grizzlies' general manager.

As of February 2006, he is the senior vice president of basketball operations for the NBA, a league official whose duties include (among other things) penalizing players for on-court misconduct. In that capacity, he is currently the highest-ranking African-American in any of the major US sports leagues. Many consider him a likely candidate to become the NBA commissioner when current commissioner David Stern decides to retire from the post.

Prior to his work in the NBA, he coached the University of Wisconsin Badger's basketball team, and played college basketball at the University of Oregon.
