Mat Jackson (born June 10, 1981 in Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire) is a British racing driver. He currently competes in the British Touring Car Championship with Redstone Racing.
Jackson and his family-ran team contested the British Touring Car Championship in 2007 and 2008, in each case using the BMW Andy Priaulx used to win the previous year's World Touring Car Championship. Jackson run under the Jackson MSport banner in 2007, and as BMW Dealer Team UK in 2008. This support was from a network of BMW dealers rather than BMW themselves, so the team was still classed as an independent. For 2009 Jackson moved to the Racing Silverline Chevrolet team and since 2010 he has raced for Motorbase Performance.

Would lift her Eyes up to the Ceiling,
And heave her Bosom unaware
For neighb’ring Beaux to see it bare.”

“I have no motive, Brothers, to deceive you. I am sincerely desirous to promote your welfare. Listen to me, therefore, while I tell you that you cannot remain where you now are. Circumstances that cannot be controlled, which are beyond the reach of human laws, render it impossible that you can flourish in the midst of a civilized community.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
