John Phillip le Grande Jacob (19 May 1877 – 3 November 1909) was a New Zealand international rugby union player.
Jacob was born in Marton and educated at Wanganui Collegiate, where he was a first XV player for three seasons.[1]
An attacking wing three-quarter, Jacob was a regular try scorer for his provinces, which numbered four as he had a well travelled career. He was New Zealand representative for two uncapped matches in 1901, debuting against Wellington. His other appearance came against New South Wales at Athletic Park and he contributed two tries in a 20–3 win.[1][2]
Jacob died of a lung haemorrhage at the age of 32 in 1909.[3]
