Jared Young Sanders Sr. (January 29, 1869 – March 23, 1944) was an American journalist and attorney from Franklin, the seat of St. Mary Parish in south Louisiana, who served as his state's House Speaker (1900–1904), lieutenant governor (1904–1908), the 34th Governor (1908–1912), and U.S. representative (1917–1921). Near the end of his political career he was a part of the anti-Long faction within the Louisiana Democratic Party. Huey Pierce Long Jr., in fact had once grappled with Sanders in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans.

He married Ada Veronica Shaw on May 31, 1891, and they had one son, Jared Y. Sanders Jr. They divorced in 1912. Sanders remarried to Emma Dickinson in 1916.

Jared Y. Sanders died at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge on March 23, 1944.
