Jens Bloch (27 June 1761–4 July 1830) was a Danish theologian and priest.

When he was 12, his father sent him to be trained at the trade office in Riga, Latvia, however he soon decided not to pursue that career, so he returned to Denmark.

The time in Göttingen led to being awarded a master's degree in Philology by the University of Copenhagen.

[1] In 1790, he got the job as a priest in Stigs Bjergby in Holbæk Municipality in Denmark.

In 1795, he was transferred to the Church of Holmen in Copenhagen, first starting as the assistant chaplain and working his way up to the parish priest by 1797.
