Jeffrey Hammond (born July 30, 1946, sometimes credited as Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond) was a bass player for the progressive rock band Jethro Tull. One of several band members from Blackpool, England, he met band leader Ian Anderson in school when he was 17 years old, eventually joining a band with Anderson and future Jethro Tull members John Evan and Barriemore Barlow.

- Aqualung (1971)
- Thick as a Brick (1972)
- Living in the Past (1972)
- A Passion Play (1973)

- Minstrel in the Gallery (1975)
He then left the band to continue his career in art.
