Jess Willard Pike (July 31, 1915 – March 28, 1984) was a Major League Baseball outfielder. He played part of the 1946 season for the New York Giants. Before and after his brief major league stint, Pike played in the minor leagues for sixteen years in total, from 1937 until 1952. He began his career as a pitcher with the Monahans Trojans of the West Texas–New Mexico League, but by 1939 he had been converted to the outfield.
