Ruth Jackson (1902 – August 28, 1994) was the first female board-certified orthopedic surgeon in the U.S. She earned her bachelor's degree in economics and sociology from the University of Texas at Austin, and her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in 1928, where she was one of four women in a class of 112 students. She became board-certified by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in 1937, and practiced in Dallas, Texas from 1932 until her retirement in 1989. She was particularly expert in problems of the foot and ankle and those of the cervical spine. In 1983, the Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society, a support and networking group for female orthopedic surgeons, was founded and named for her.
