Jacob Tremblay (/ˈtrɒmbleɪ/; born October 5, 2006) is a Canadian child actor. His breakout performance was his co-starring role as Jack Newsome in Room (2015), for which he received critical acclaim and was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role. He won the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer and the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.

Tremblay was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, on October 5, 2006. He was raised in the nearby city of Langley, British Columbia. His father, Jason Tremblay, is a police detective, and his mother, Christina Candia Tremblay, is a homemaker. Tremblay's older sister, Emma, and younger sister, Erica, are also film actors.

Tremblay is an avid fan of the Star Wars franchise and named his dog after Daisy Ridley's character, Rey. His excitement at the characters BB-8, R2-D2 and C-3PO's appearance at the 88th Academy Awards ceremony, which he attended, was considered a highlight of the evening.
