Richard Jackson (c. 1729 – 23 October 1789)[1] was an Irish politician.

He sat in the House of Commons of Ireland from 1751 to 1789, as one of the two members for the borough of Coleraine.[2] In 1777 he was appointed to the Privy Council of Ireland.

He was twice elected for another borough — Lisburn in 1776 and Randalstown in 1783 — but in each case was also re-elected for Coleraine, and chose to sit for Coleraine.[2]
