Jack Pennington (born September 3, 1953) is a dirt Late Model driver from Augusta, Georgia.

He was second in the 1990 Rookie of the Year standings in controversial fashion (because the winner was posthumously awarded after being killed in a drunken driving incident returning home from the September North Wilkesboro round; NASCAR has since added a disciplinary rule that requires drivers to finish the season in good standing, which Pennington would have won the title under current rules).
