Leon Quincy Jackson (9 January 1927 - 21 July 1995), alternatively (9 January 1926 - 21 July 1995), was an architect and Tennessee State University professor. He was the first African-American architect to open an office in the state of Oklahoma. Jackson was hampered in his Oklahoma registration because of his race.
His son also trained as an architect and became a promoter of electronic music in Nashville, Tennessee.
Some of his buildings have been lost to fire or demolition but others remain standing. He was an influence on many students.
