Jackson Garden-Bachop (born 3 October 1994) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a first five-eighth for the Melbourne Rebels in the international Super Rugby competition.
Born in Dunedin, but raised in Wellington, Garden-Bachop played rugby at Scots College in the city. He is the son of former All Black Stephen Bachop.
Garden-Bachop debuted for the Wellington Lions as a teenager during the 2013 ITM Cup making a solitary appearance. Over the course of the next 3 seasons, he gradually became a more frequent starter and by the 2016 season he could call himself Wellington's starting number 10.
Unable to land a contract with one of New Zealand's five Super Rugby franchises, Garden-Bachop decided to hop across the Tasman Sea to join Australian side, the Melbourne Rebels. He signed a 2-year contract prior to the 2017 Super Rugby season.
Garden Bachop represented New Zealand at schoolboy level in 2012 and under-20 level in 2014.
