Jackson Hugh Lind (born June 8, 1946) is an American former Major League Baseball shortstop, first baseman, second baseman, and third baseman. He played during two seasons at the major league level for the Milwaukee Brewers, as well as one season in Japan for the Yomiuri Giants. He was drafted by the Houston Astros in the 7th round of the secondary phase of the 1967 Major League Baseball Draft.
After retiring from playing, Lind began a managing career in the minor leagues.

Most recently, he managed the Lexington Legends in 2006. He also served as the third base coach for Pittsburgh Pirates from 1997 to 2000.
