Jack Wilkinson (birth registered July→September 1930 - death unknown) was an English professional Rugby League World Cup winning footballer who played in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, and coached in the 1960s. A Halifax RLFC Hall of Fame inductee, he was a Great Britain international prop, who played at club level for Halifax, Wakefield Trinity (Heritage № 657), and Bradford Northern. He also represented Yorkshire, English League XIII, England, and Great Britain.
Born in Halifax, West Riding of Yorkshire in 1930, Wilkinson was a classmate of wrestler Shirley "Big Daddy" Crabtree.
