Samuel Hollister Jackson (December 7, 1875 – November 2, 1927) was an American attorney, businessman, and politician who served as the 56th lieutenant governor of Vermont in 1927. Admitted to the bar in 1900, he practiced law in Barre City and held roles as State’s Attorney for Washington County, a Vermont state legislator, a member of the state’s Railroad Commission, and led the Vermont Bar Association.
