Paul Jackson Pollock (/ˈpɒlək/ Cody, Wyoming; 28 de enero de 1912-Springs, Nueva York; 11 de agosto de 1956), más conocido como Jackson Pollock, fue un influyente pintor estadounidense y principal artista del expresionismo abstracto. Pollock alcanzó reconocimiento por su estilo de chorrear pintura (dripping). Fue autor de 400 pinturas y alrededor de 500 dibujos. En 1945 se casó con la artista estadounidense Lee Krasner, quien se convirtió en una influencia importante en su carrera y en su legado. Pollock era una persona aislada y con una personalidad volátil. Sufrió de graves problemas de alcoholismo a los cuales se enfrentó durante toda su vida, lo que le llevó a la muerte en un accidente automovilístico al conducir en estado de ebriedad a los 44 años de edad. En el año 2000, una película basada en su vida, titulada Pollock, dirigida y protagonizada por Ed Harris, ganó un Premio Óscar.
