Jacob Jacobsen Dampe often referred to in Danish as J.J. Dampe or Dr. Dampe (born 10 January 1790 in Copenhagen; died 22 December 1867 in Copenhagen) was a Danish theologian, scholar, and politician activist.

In 1820 Dampe was sentenced to death because he had demanded the abolition of the Absolute monarchy and the introduction of a free constitution.

His sentence was however changed to exile and he was held in a prison called "the Balloon" on the islet Fredriksø, part of the Ertholmene islands north of Bornholm.

In 1840, after the abolition of exile as a form of punishment, he was placed under house arrest in Bornholm.

He was granted amnesty in 1848 under the new King Frederick VII of Denmark.
