Charles Samuel Jackson (September 15, 1860 – December 27, 1924) was a prominent newspaper publisher in the U.S. state of Oregon. Jackson owned the East Oregonian from 1882 to 1913, developing it into a successful regional paper. He also founded and published Oregon Journal, which in over 22 years, he turned it into a "strong voice of the Oregon Country" and a rival of state's newspaper, The Oregonian. Author George Stanley Turnbull described Jackson as "a character which has been one of the most influential in the history of Oregon journalism."
