Jack Simpson (15 July 1858 – 30 November 1895) was a Scottish golfer.
Simpson was born Earlsferry, Fife, and was one of six golfing brothers. He played his golf out of Carnoustie. He was a powerful but erratic player. He won the 1884 Open Championship at Prestwick with a score of 160 for 36 holes, despite taking a nine at his second hole. His winner's prize was £10. He did not have any other high finishes at the Open and concentrated mainly on clubmaking. He died in 1895.
