Inger Johanne Jacobsen (13 October 1923 – 21 July 1996) was a Norwegian singer and actress, known internationally for her participation in the 1962 Eurovision Song Contest.

Jacobsen made her first recordings during World War II and became a popular singer and actress in the post-war period, appearing often on television and radio, and in films and stage productions, until shortly before her death.

[1] In 1962, Jacobsen entered the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix (the national Eurovision selection), and was chosen to represent the country at the seventh Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Kom sol, kom regn" ("Come Sun, Come Rain").

[3][4] Jacobsen later made two more unsuccessful attempts in Melodi Grand Prix; in 1964, she came fourth with "Hvor" ("Where") while her 1971 entry "India" finished an ignominious last of the 12 songs.

[5][6] Jacobsen was known to be a private individual who avoided the world of celebrity and preferred to keep details of her personal life out of the public eye.
