Jay Pinkerton (born June 15, 1977) is a nationally published humorist and a former editor of both CRACKED.com and CRACKED Magazine.

Prior to joining CRACKED, Pinkerton served as the managing editor of NationalLampoon.com, the website of the national comedy and film brand. Since joining CRACKED, Pinkerton has helped make CRACKED.com a leading comedy site, including by bringing in new contributors.

Jay Pinkerton initially registered his website, Jaypinkerton.com, to be a portfolio of his comedy and artwork. Afterwards, Pinkerton joined the forums of the internet humor website "Pointless Waste of Time" (PWOT), and took the attention of the site's owner, David Wong, with whom Pinkerton worked on a now-defunct satirical news commentary, the "News Skim", and other comedy articles. It was around this time that he first published his redone Spiderman comics, spawning an internet phenomenon.

In addition to CRACKED, Pinkerton’s work has also appeared on McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Modern Humorist, CollegeHumor.com and numerous other sites. He has also had his humor writing published in print, including in "Jest Magazine", "McSweeney’s Best Non-Required Reading 2003", "National Lampoon’s Big Book of Love", "The CollegeHumor Guide to College" and "Golden Words".
