The white-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus townsendii), also known as the prairie hare and the white jack, is a species of hare found in western North America.

Litters of four to five young are born in a form, a shallow depression in the ground, hidden among vegetation. This jackrabbit has two described subspecies: Lepus townsendii townsendii occurring west of the Rocky Mountains and Lepus townsendii campanius occurring east of the Rocky Mountains.
