Héctor Garza Lozano Vela (January 9, 1917 – November 2, 1969), better known under the ring name Tonina Jackson, was a Mexican actor and professional wrestler. He was nicknamed Cara de niño ("Baby face") and worked under such names as Héctor Lozano, Gordo Lozano and Pancho Morales in the southern United States. He is not related to a wrestler known as "Tonina Jackson Jr." who made his debut in the 21st century.

The height of his success was in the 1950s and early 1960s where he even had a soft drink named after himself, the "Tonina". He also appeared in a number of lucha films, including the first four films of the Huracán Ramírez series.
