Jack Carson, egentligen John Elmer Carson, född 27 oktober 1910 i Carman, Manitoba, död 2 januari 1963 i Encino, Kalifornien, var en kanadensisk skådespelare. Han började i filmbranschen som statist 1937 och kom på några år att växa till en duktig karaktärsskådespelare. 1941 började han arbeta för Warner Bros. och spelade bland annat mot James Cagney i flera filmer. Carson gjorde ofta komiska roller men även dramatiska som i Mildred Pierce (1945) eller Katt på hett plåttak (1958). Jack Carson diagnostiserades med magsäckscancer 1962 och avled till följd av det året därpå.
