Edward L. Jackson (c. 1907 – ?) was an American football and basketball coach and administrator for several historically black colleges and universities in the Eastern United States. He served as the head football coach at Delaware State University, Johnson C. Smith University and Howard University, altering his tenures among the three schools over the course of 23 years.[1] Not once during his football coaching career did a team of his finish with a sub-.500 record. Jackson also coached basketball at Johnson C. Smith and Delaware State.[2]

Jackson received Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees from

Tuskegee Institute in 1956, serving as physical education director until 1968 and then as vice president of academic affairs.[4][5] In 1970, he was recognized by the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation with a Presidential Citation.[6]
