Jack Bland (May 8, 1899 – October 18, 1968) was an influential American jazz banjoist and guitarist. Born in Sedalia, Missouri, Bland is best known for co-founding the Mound City Blue Blowers with Red McKenzie in 1924 in St. Louis. Their first hit, "Arkansas Blues," found success in Chicago and the American Midwest. The group expanded its reach when guitarist Eddie Lang joined later that year, leading to a tour in England.

As the 1920s progressed, Bland transitioned from the banjo to playing more guitar and cello. By 1929, with Lang's departure and the addition of drummer Gene Krupa, the ensemble included notable musicians such as Muggsy Spanier, Coleman Hawkins, and Eddie Condon, evolving towards a Dixieland style. The Blue Blowers also appeared in the 1929 short film "The Opry House."

In 1932, Bland participated in session work with the Rhythmakers in New York City, collaborating with artists like Billy Banks, Pee Wee Russell, and Zutty Singleton. During the 1940s, he performed at Jimmy Ryan's Club on 52nd Street with musicians such as Edmond Hall and Hot Lips Page, with some sessions recorded by Milt Gabler for Commodore Records. He led his own band from 1944 to 1950.

Bland moved to Los Angeles in the 1950s, where he retired from performing and worked as a taxicab driver. He passed away in Van Nuys, California, in 1968. His contributions to jazz, particularly through the Mound City Blue Blowers, left a lasting impact on the genre.
