Jackson Heights was a British progressive folk-rock band formed in the early 1970s by Lee Jackson, formerly the bassist for the influential group The Nice. Jackson intended the new project to highlight his songwriting and vocal talents within a more acoustic, folk-rock framework. The band released four albums during the 1970s.

The music of Jackson Heights diverged significantly from the keyboard-centric, harder rock sound associated with The Nice and Keith Emerson's subsequent projects. Instead, their sound often drew comparisons to a more progressive iteration of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, emphasizing intricate acoustic arrangements and vocal harmonies.
