Evert Brynolf Jakobsson (16 February 1886 – 16 July 1960) was a Finnish javelin thrower who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics.

[1] Evert Jakobsson, with his brother Jarl, emerged as javelin specialists in the summer of 1906.

The existing world record by Eric Lemming was 53.90 metres, but with their enhancement, Evert broke it with 57.42.

At this point, the new grip was banned, and all results achieved with it were disqualified, reverting the world record to 53.90.

Figure skater Walter Jakobsson, who won Olympic gold in 1920 pair skating, was his cousin.
