Jason Maguire (born 13 April 1980), is an Irish horse racing jockey who won the 2011 Grand National on Ballabriggs.

Maguire is the nephew of another former jockey Adrian Maguire. He started out in Irish pony races and as he started his career rode his first winner, Search For Peace at Cheltenham on 12 November 1999.
