E. Jackson is a Navajo silversmith documented in Hougart with two hallmarks. The entry is a brief listing within the broader Jackson family section of Navajo silversmiths, which includes the well-documented Dan A. Jackson (1944–2022) and Gene Jackson (1933–), among others. The Jackson surname represents a cluster of related Navajo silversmiths, and E. Jackson's relationship to the named family members is not stated in Hougart.

The Jackson family section also documents Gene Jackson (active since 1980s, stamp work and shadowbox; collaborated with his wife Martha Jackson) and Dan A. Jackson (traditional, nugget sets, modern, shadowbox, channel inlay, heishi; brother of Gene Jackson; grandfather of Jennifer Curtis).
