Jacob Holm (29 September 1770 – 3 August 1845) was a Danish industrialist, ship owner and merchant.

In 1794, on Christmas Day, he opened a grocer's store in Torvegade at Christianshavn, servicing the fast-growing population of Amager, and soon also engaged in a profitable trade with the Danish provinces.

The years after the turn of the century were hard on the shipping industry with the British bombardments of Copenhagen in 1801 and 1807 but his company survived.

In 1830, he constructed the first Danish-built steam vessel, Frederik VI, which succeeded Caledonia on Kiel-Lübeck.

Jacob Holm was a member of the Council of 32 Men which marked all of his participation in public life.
