Jack Alvin Radford (November 4, 1929 – May 19, 2003) was a Canadian politician. He served in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1972 to 1975, as a NDP member for the constituency of Vancouver South. He died of cancer in 2003.

He played a season with the B.C. Lions when they were first organized and with the Edmonton Eskimos until knee injuries side-lined him. He began trap shooting in the 1950s and excelled in this sport; winning the B.C. Championship twice, as well as titles in the United States. He worked 20 years for Swift's Meats in Vancouver. He accepted a position with the IWA, then went on to become a representative for the Canadian Labour Congress.
