Union Jack is the name of three fictional superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins, the first Union Jack (James Montgomery Falsworth) first appeared in Invaders #7 (July 1976).[1] A second incarnation (Brian Falsworth) from the same creators appeared in The Invaders #21, and a third incarnation (Joseph Chapman) was created by Roger Stern and John Byrne for Captain America Vol. 1 #254 (February 1981).

Following The Invaders, Union Jack has been featured as a regular character in the ongoing series Knights of Pendragon, New Invaders and Invaders Now, as well two self-titled mini-series.

JJ Feild portrayed James Falsworth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain America: The First Avenger as a member of the Howling Commandoes.
