Norm Jacobson (1917-1994) was an Australian rugby league footballer of the 1940s. A New South Wales representative three-quarter back, he played his club football career in the NSWRFL Premiership for the Newtown club.
A centre and prolific try-scorer, Jacobson played in Newtown's grand final win in 1943. After returning from interstate Army service, he resumed playing for Newtown the following year and played in the 1944 grand final loss. In his final season at Newtown, Jacobson was the League's top try-scorer, with 27 tries from 19 appearances.
