David Hamilton Jackson (September 28, 1884 – May 30, 1946) was a labor rights advocate in the Danish West Indies, later the United States Virgin Islands.

Jackson worked as an educator and later a bookkeeper and clerk before becoming involved in the politics of the Danish West Indies.

He traveled to Denmark and successfully petitioned for the repeal of a 1779 law which prohibited independent newspapers and enforced strict censorship on all publications in the territory.

In 1916, under Jackson's leadership, the St. Croix Labor Union went on strike and negotiated an agreement with the Planters Association to raise the wage of sugar cane laborers from 20 cents to 35 cents, among other concessions.

After his visit, a majority of the Folketing was convinced that Danish rule over the islands should be ended.
