Maurice Percival Jackson ((1906-04-22)22 April 1906 – 15 July 1957(1957-07-15) (aged 51)), was the husband of Dance Centre of Northwestern Ontario founder Amelia Jackson.

He died in Vancouver on 15 July 1957. Given his place of death and the absence of an obituary in Fort William it is possible Amelia and Maurice were divorced at this point; he had been with a member of the band so there had been infidelity.
