John James "Jack" Ross (born 5 June 1976) is a retired Scottish professional football player and coach, who is currently the manager of St Mirren.
During his playing career he played as a defender and midfielder. From 1992-95 he started out for youth sides at Dundee and Forfar Athletic before dropping to the Scottish Junior leagues for first team action at Camelon Juniors. He then returned to the Scottish Football League in 1999 with Clyde before a short stint in England with Hartlepool United in 2004. He returned to Scotland a year later with Falkirk, St Mirren, Hamilton Academical and Dunfermline Athletic where he retired in 2011 due to a knee injury.
Ross also had a brief international spell playing for Scotland B in 2009.
Following his playing retirement in 2011, Ross started as a coaching career at Dumbarton, as assistant manager for both Alan Adamson and later Ian Murray. He was also caretaker manager of Dumbarton in October to November 2012 between the tenures of Adamson and Murray. He became the coach of the Heart of Midlothian under-20 team in July 2014. Ross was appointed Alloa Athletic manager in December 2015. After a good start to the 2016–17 season with Alloa, Ross was appointed manager of St Mirren.
