Fabio Jakobsen is a Dutch cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team.

During the 2019 Vuelta a España Jakobsen won two stages, including the final stage of the race on stage 21 in Madrid.

A few meters before the finish of the 1st stage in the 2020 Tour de Pologne he heavily crashed after Dylan Groenewegen deviated from his line, forcing Jakobsen into the barriers. The race doctor initially reported that Jakobsen had suffered several major injuries, including serious brain trauma and damage to the upper respiratory tract, a broken palate, and heavy blood loss, and was in life-threatening condition.[4][5] On 7 August 2020, the race organizers announced that Jakobsen was out of the induced coma and in "good condition". On 18 August 2020, Jakobsen said that he was "glad to be alive" following the crash. Jakobsen returned to professional racing at the Presidential Tour of Turkey on 11 April 2021.

Jakobsen raced the 2021 Vuelta a España, where he improved on his 2019 result by winning three stages. Stage 16 proved to be decisive, when Jakobsen won the sprint finish on his 25th birthday. Although he was unable to increase his points total following this stage victory, he remained the overall leader in the points competition until the completion of the race, earning him his first Grand Tour jersey.
