Paul Jackson was an American jazz electric bassist and composer. He was a founding member of the Headhunters, and played on several of Herbie Hancock's albums, including Head Hunters and Thrust. At age 14, he performed with the Oakland Symphony Orchestra and went on to study at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. 

The self-titled Head Hunters album became the best-selling jazz album of all time, selling over a million copies (the first jazz album to do so) and peaking to number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart. 

Jackson co-wrote "Chameleon", the album's lead track that later became a jazz standard. He subsequently played on Thrust (1974), Man-Child (1975), the live album Flood (1975) and Secrets (1976).
