Jack Clarke Dale (February 28, 1904 – September 6, 1975) was an American college football and college basketball coach.

Dale grew up in an Omaha, Nebraska, orphanage. He ran away at the age of six and enlisted into the United States Army at 14. After three years as a member of the United States Army Coast Artillery Corps, he graduated from Gothenburg High School in Gothenburg, Nebraska. He later enrolled at the University of Arkansas, where he played fullback for the football team, earning Second-team All-Southwest Conference (SWC) in 1931. He also served as the captain for the 1931 track and field team.[4]
After two seasons at First District A&M, Dale was hired as the head football coach for Paragould High School in Paragould, Arkansas.[5] He resigned following the 1940 season to work for his father-in-law, R. E. Spillman, at Spillman Milling Company.[6] In 1954, Dale returned to Paragould High School.[7]
Dale died on September 6, 1975, at his home in Paragould.[8] He was survived by his wife and daughter.[9]
