Jack Manning is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live. He is the only son of supercouple Todd Manning and Blair Cramer.

The role of Jack Manning was depicted by baby child actors Ryan and Riley Cramer, who were alternately in the roles from October 11, 2001, through 2003. Jack was then played as in early childhood by Christian Thomas Ashdale from 2003 through 2004, Jack Boscoe from January 2005 through October 2006, and by Thomas Christian Justusson from December 2006 through August 2007. Carmen LoPorto stepped into the role in preadolescence, portraying Jack regularly in a recurring capacity from September 3, 2007, through January 3, 2011, revising the character's birth year to 1997.

In February 2011, the character was aged to a teenager and birth year ultimately changed to 1995 with Andrew Trischitta in the role, debuting on the serial in the February 22, 2011, episode. Trischitta was bumped up to contract in early May 2011, making the character a featured lead role for the first time on the series. Trischitta remained on the show through the original television finale episode aired January 12, 2012, and reprised the role when new daily episodes of OLTL debuted on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network April 29, 2013.

In 2001, a pregnant Blair (Kassie DePaiva) goes to San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico intending to give birth to who she believes is the son of Max Holden (James DePaiva). Todd (Roger Howarth) follows an unsuspecting Blair, eventually making her believe the baby boy died soon after his birth on October 10, 2001. Todd goes to the airport and gives the baby to a pair of nuns. Witnessing this, David Vickers (Tuc Watkins) gets the child back and brings him to where Todd and Blair are staying. Todd pays David a hefty sum to get rid of the baby. David gives the child to a rich Texas couple, the Millers. Todd discovers the boy is indeed his son and forces David to reveal his location. Todd gets him back, and he, along with Blair and Starr (Kristen Alderson), name the baby Jack. David blackmails Todd, threatening to tell Blair everything. Todd turns the tables on him. Blair eventually finds out after Jack is diagnosed with aplastic anemia, the same illness Starr had a few years prior when she discovered that Alex Olanov (Tonja Walker) also donated her bone marrow to save his life. Margaret Cochran (Tari Signor), obsessed with Todd (Trevor St. John), kidnaps young Jack in 2004. He is later returned. Aged to a preteen in 2007, Jack becomes a regular recurring role who behaves as mischievously as his older sister Starr before him, learning her manipulative ways, as well as obnoxious and disrespectful behavior from his father.
