Jacqueline Ellen Last O'Neil (better known as Jackie O; born January 31, 1975 in Adelaide, South Australia) is an Australian commercial radio host, known nationally for the Hot 30 Countdown with Kyle Sandilands, and previously with her ex-husband Ugly Phil.

Jackie O's partnership with Sandilands continues on Sydney station 2Day FM. The pair moved from drive-time to breakfast at the beginning of 2005. They continue to host the countdown show The Hot Hits.

Jackie O has also hosted a variety of television shows, most prominently the Popstars series, in which televised auditions were held to select members of a vocal group. In 2005, Jackie O also hosted the Network Ten reality show, Australian Princess, in which they transformed a group of women to sophisticated "princesses"; a contestant named Ally (the "Surfer Chick") won the title. In 2006 Jackie O's performance as host of this show meant she was voted Australia's Worst Female TV Personality in The Fuglies which are the Australian anti-televsion awards.

In addition to radio and TV appearances, Jackie has also done voice-over work for the animated movie Robots, playing the part of Loretta Geargrinder in the Australian release.
