Jacob C. Bogart (c. 1820 – August 15, 1876) was an American ship captain and Democratic politician from San Diego, California.
Whenever any of the crew of the whaler Black Warrior wished to use a horse, the animal was furnished by the native Californians for a whole day for a dollar.
Lt. George Derby of the U.S. Topographical Engineers reported that in 1853 he saw "two crazy old hulks riding at anchor", one of them the Clarissa Andrews, filled with coal for the Pacific Mail Steamship Co., "wherein dwells Captain Bogart, like a second Robinson Crusoe".
In 1852 Bogart planted a field of barley near La Playa, but the grain never ripened as the antelopes (which were in San Diego back then) and jack rabbits destroyed it all.
Bogart was appointed president for the San Diego city board of trustees (informally called "mayor") during 1859–1860.
