Jackal is a name used by several unrelated characters from the DC Universe.

William "Bill" Walsh was a mercenary and member of H.I.V.E. who served with Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke in the United States Army. After leaving the military, he became a terrorist known as the Jackal. He was later hired by the president of Qurac to find Slade, and find out who hired him to kill a Qurac Colonel. To gain leverage, the Jackal kidnapped Slade's young son; Joseph Wilson. Slade and Adeline Wilson then confronted him in an alleyway in Tangiers. Slade refused to give the Jackal the information he requested, so one of Jackal's men had begun to slit Joseph's throat, leaving him permanently mute. Walsh later became the second Ravager after Grant Wilson, and was eventually killed by Deathstroke.

Bill Walsh was created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, first appearing in Tales of the Teen Titans #44 (1984).
