Nicholas Jackiw (born 1966) is an American software designer and mathematics education researcher. He is the creator of The Geometer's Sketchpad, and with it, the geometric visualization paradigm known as “Dynamic Geometry”  which is ubiquitous in interactive geometry software today. Jackiw also designed and created TouchCounts and TouchTimes, which (like Sketchpad) explore technologically-mediated approaches to gestural, embodied, and haptic interactions with mathematics.

As a researcher in mathematics education, Jackiw publishes on pedagogic software design, especially for mathematics. Jackiw’s software titles have received various industry awards (including "Best Educational Software of All Time") and academic research in mathematics and mathematics education. In 2018, Jackiw received the Prize for Excellence of the International Society for Design and Development in Education.
