George Jackson (1766–1840) was a British plasterwork innovator, active from 1780 onwards. He was commissioned by architect Robert Adam to produce reverse-cut boxwood moulds (many to Adam designs). Jackson formed a company which still produces composition pressings and retains a boxwood mould collection.
