Jason Dickson (born March 30, 1973 in London, Ontario) is a Canadian baseball pitcher.'

Dickson is a graduate of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M University. He plays for the Somerset Patriots and was drafted by the California Angels in the 6th round of the 1994 MLB Amateur Draft. He was part of the Team Canada in the 2004 Summer Olympics that finished in fourth place. Dickson was named to the 1997 American League All-Star Team as a 24 year-old representing the Anaheim Angels. He would finish his first full season with 13 wins and a 4.29 ERA but struggled the next year, going 10-10 with a 6.05 ERA. Over four seasons in the majors, Dickson had a 26-25 record and 4.99 career ERA. However, injuries have all but nullified a once promising career.

In 1996, he won the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's Tip O'Neill Award.

He ran for and lost the right to run for the Liberals in the riding of Miramichi-Bay du Vin at a May 28 2006 nominating convention. He placed third in a field of four candidates with 91 of 531 votes.
