Jack Cashill (born December 15, 1947) is a regional Mid-America Emmy Award-winning American author and journalist best known for his investigative reporting on American government and politics. Cashill is a weekly contributor to the socially conservative news and opinion website WorldNetDaily, and executive editor of Ingram's Magazine in Kansas City, Missouri.
Cashill was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey to William and Frances Cashill. He graduated from Regis High School in New York City and Siena College in Loudonville, NY. Cashill received his Ph.D. in American Studies from Purdue University in 1982.
Jack has written at least seven books including Ron Brown's Body: How One Man's Death Saved the Clinton Presidency and Hillary's Future; 2006: The Chautauqua Rising; Hoodwinked: How Intellectual Hucksters Have Hijacked American Culture; Sucker Punch: The Left Hook that Dazed Ali and Killed King's Dream; and, with James Sanders, First Strike: TWA Flight 800 and the Attack on America. His newest book, What's The Matter With California? a reference to Thomas Frank's What's the Matter with Kansas? was released on October 2, 2007. He has also written and produced several documentaries, such as Silenced: TWA Flight 800, Mega Fix and the Emmy Award-winning The Royal Years.

Jack hosted a daily talk radio show for KMBZ, the leading Kansas City AM station, for four years. He has taught media and literature at Purdue and at other universities in the Kansas City area. He served as a Fulbright professor in Nancy, France.
Leading up to the 2008 U.S. election, Cashill put forth the controversial notion that candidate Barack Obama's book Dreams from My Father had not only been ghost-written, but that the true author was former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers. After the piece was mentioned by Andy McCarthy of the National Review, the fantastic nature of the theory caused fellow National Review contributor Jonathan Adler to refer to the idea as "nutter".
