Jakob Schneider (born 18 April 1994) is a German former representative rower.

[3] He did not represent at the international level in 2013 but in 2014 rowed in a coxless four which won a silver medal at the U23 World Championships in Linz, Austria.

Schneider in 2015 was elevated to the German senior squad and into a coxed pair which won a silver medal at the 2015 World Rowing Championships in Aiguebelette.

[3] In 2017 the German men's eight was completely rebuilt after the 2016 Olympics, and Schneider secured the five seat and held it throughout their dominant season campaign, winning gold at the European Championships, two World Rowing Cups and ultimately at the 2017 World Rowing Championships in Sarasota, Florida where the German eight were crowned as world champions.

[3] There were a handful of changes to the German eight in 2019 but Weißenfeld stayed in the engine room at five for another successful international season which culminated in his third successive world championship title at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Ottensheim.
