Thomas Jonathan Jackson was a bronze equestrian statue of Confederate general Stonewall Jackson which was located at Courthouse Historic District of Charlottesville, Virginia and installed in 1921.
The statue was sculpted by Charles Keck and was the third of four works commissioned from members of the National Sculpture Society by philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire. It was the second of three statues McIntire donated to the city of Charlottesville, which he did over a period of five years from 1919 to 1924. The statue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
In 2021 the statue was sent to Los Angeles, where the artist Kara Walker cut the statue into pieces and made them into a new sculpture.
