Admiral Sir Thomas Jackson, KBE, CB, MVO (20 February 1868 – 7 July 1945) was a senior Royal Navy officer during World War I.

Born the son of Admiral Sir Thomas Sturges Jackson,[2] Jackson joined the Royal Navy in 1881. He was promoted to commander on 31 December 1899,[3] and in early 1900 was posted in lieu of a lieutenant to the pre-dreadnought battleship HMS Revenge,[4] stationed in the Fleet Reserve at Chatham Dockyard.[5]

During the Russo-Japanese War, Jackson was a military observer stationed on the Imperial Japanese Navy cruiser Azuma, and was present at the Battle of Tsushima. After the war, he was promoted captain in 1905,[6] and remained as a military attaché in Tokyo in 1906.[7]

In 1913 he became the Director of the Intelligence Division of the Admiralty War Staff and then served in World War I becoming Director of the Operations Division in January 1915.[8] He played a key role in the Battle of Jutland in May 1916, providing Admiral Jellicoe with incorrect information that the German High Seas Fleet appeared to have remained in harbour.[9] Promoted to rear admiral in June 1916,[6] he was made Flag Officer, Egypt & The Red Sea in July 1917.[8] He was promoted to vice admiral in March 1920.[6] He retired in 1923 and was promoted admiral on the retired list in 1925.[10][11]
