Lars Christian Jacobsen (born 20 September 1979) is a retired Danish footballer.
Born and raised in Odense, Funen, Jacobsen started his career with local top-flight team Odense Boldklub. Prior to joining Odense Boldklub, he attended Sanderum School and once played as a striker before switching position to a defender. His talent was quickly discovered, as he played 58 matches for various youth national teams, and won the 1997 Danish under-19 Player of the Year award. He made his senior debut for OB in the 1996–97 Danish Superliga season.
Jacobsen got his big break-through the following season, when he played 15 first team matches, even though the club was relegated to the 1st Division. He helped the club win promotion the next season. His most notable result with OB came in the 2002 Danish Cup final. OB won 2–0 against defending Superliga champions Copenhagen, and he was named "Cup Fighter" (man of the match) as the club won its first trophy in nine years.
After the cup triumph, Jacobsen moved abroad to play for German club Hamburg on pre-contract, effectively starting from the 2002–03 season.
He made his Hamburger SV debut on 11 September 2002, making first start in a 2–1 loss against Wolfsburg and was featured again, this time in the right midfield position, in a 2–0 win over Kaiserslautern four days later on 15 September 2002. On 10 May 2003 he scored his first Hamburger SV goal, in a 4–1 win over Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Jacobsen finished his first season at Hamburger SV, making twelve appearances and scoring once.
