Jacob Lillyman (born 7 March 1984 in Richmond, Queensland) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer, currently playing for the New Zealand Warriors in the National Rugby League. Lillyman formerly played in the second row, where he had appeared for Queensland in State of Origin. He is now considered a front row forward, a position he currently plays for the Warriors and Queensland. Lillyman has previously played for the North Queensland Cowboys.
Lillyman attended Columba Catholic College, Charters Towers, where he was a boarding student for a while. His youth club was the Richmond Tigers in Northwest Queensland.

Lillyman made his debut for the Cowboys in Round 22 of the 2003 season against the Newcastle Knights. He then went on to play sixty two games for the club, showing good enough form to earn State of Origin selection.
In 2008 Lillyman was forced to leave the North Queensland Cowboys due to salary-cap pressures, and that year there ended abruptly for him when he suffered a season-ending injury in Round 15, playing against the Melbourne Storm.
In June 2008, it was announced that he had signed a two-year deal with the New Zealand Warriors for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. At that time he was joining a strong Queensland contingent at the club, which included former Cowboys Nathan Fien and Micheal Luck and well as fellow State representatives Steve Price and Brent Tate. In August 2010 he signed a one-year extension and a further two-year extension followed in May 2011 when Lillyman re-signed for the Warriors until the end of the 2013 season In April 2014 he re-signed until the end of the 2017 season, which would make it a straight nine years with the club. On 3 April 2016 Lillyman became the 11th player to mark 150 games for the Warriors in their 32-28 win over the Sydney Roosters at Gosford, NSW, making 159 metres, with 31 tackles.
