Shericka Jackson СD OD (born 16 July 1994) is a Jamaican sprinter competing in the 100 m, 200 m, and 400 metres. In the 100 m, she’s the fifth fastest woman of all time, while in the 200 m, she’s the fastest woman alive and second fastest woman in history.

Jackson started her career as a 400 m sprinter, winning individual bronze medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics, 2015 World Championships and 2019 World Championships. At these competitions, she won silver in the 4 x 400 m relays at the 2016 Olympics, then gold and bronze respectively at the 2015 and 2019 World Championships. At the 2019 Championships, she also won gold in the 4 x 100 m relay.

After Jackson shifted to shorter sprints in 2021 she won bronze in the 100 m at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, then added a gold and bronze for the 4 x 100 m and 4 x 400 m relays respectively. That year, she achieved a sub-10.80 s personal best in the 100 m and sub-22 s in the 200 m. With her sub-49.5 s best in the 400 m, she became one of few women to reach such marks at those events. At the 2022 World Championships, she won a silver in the 100 m, gold in the 200 m setting national record, and a silver for the 4 x 100 m relay. She was the 2022 Diamond League 200 m champion.

Jackson is the first athlete in World Championship history to win medals in the 100, 200 and 400 metres, including the 4x100 and 4x400 metres relays. She is also the second athlete in history, behind Marita Koch to win medals in the 100, 200, 400, 4x100 and 4x400 metres at the World Championships and/or the Olympic Games.
