Joseph Jacobsen (born February 9, 1987 in Anaheim, California) is an American pair skater.

Early in his career, he competed with Janey Mayne. He then teamed up with Bianca Butler, with whom he competed for ten years. Butler & Jacobsen were the 2007 US National junior silver medalists. They qualified for the 2005 Junior Grand Prix Final in their first year on the circuit, and placed sixth.

Although they placed seventh on the day, they were later moved up a spot to a sixth place finish at the 2007-2008 Junior Grand Prix Final following the retroactive disqualification of first-place-finishers Vera Bazarova & Yuri Larionov due to a positive doping sample from Larionov.

Their partnership ended following the 2008-2009 season. Jacobsen teamed up with Amanda Dobbs. They won the pewter medal at the 2010 Pacific Coast Sectional Championships to qualify for the 2010 U.S. Figure Skating Championships^[1].
