Jason Shackell (b. 27 September 1983) is a professional footballer. He is a central defender who plays for Norwich City.

Shackell is a product of the youth academy at Norwich City. He made his debut for the first team on 5 April 2003 in a league match at Derby County, when he played at left-back following an injury to Adam Drury. Although Shackell's preferred - and best - position is central defender, his first few appearances would be at left-back when Drury was either injured or suspended.

Shackell ended the match in English football's top division on 28 February 2005 in a home game against Manchester City. Although Norwich lost 3-2, Shackell acquitted himself well and kept his place in the centre of defence for the remainder of the season. Although the campaign would end with Norwich being relegated from the Premiership, Shackell's ability, confidence and influence on his team-mates led many supporters to see him as a future Norwich captain.

The scene was set for Shackell to continue his progress in the 2005-06 season. However, a pre-season illness and a subsequent run of injuries limited him to only a handful of matches during that campaign. He signed a new 3 year contract in the summer of 2006 despite undergoing another ankle operation, and so remained a part of the club's future. He has been a regular selection in defence for Norwich at the start of the 2006-07 season.

Shackell scored his first goal for Norwich on the 17th October 2007 against Birmingham City, proving to be the winning goal. As of 27th February, Jason has scored two more goals, coming against Preston North End and Luton Town. He is yet to score a goal at Norwich's home, Carrow Road.
