Jack Garden (3 March 1895 – 1 December 1955) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the VFL.

A wingman, Garden debuted for Essendon in 1915 but did not play again until 1920 due to war service. He won the Essendon Best and Fairest award in his first year back and the following season made his first appearance for Victoria. Garden won back-to-back premierships in 1923 and 1924.
