Bradley Robert Jacobs[1] (born June 11, 1985) is a Canadian curler from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.[2] He currently skips his own team out of Calgary, Alberta. He is an Olympic champion skip, having led Canada to a gold medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Jacobs is also the 2013 Tim Hortons Brier championship skip and the 2013 World Championship runner-up. He is a 12-time Northern Ontario provincial champion, and one-time provincial junior champion.

Jacobs and his Olympic gold medallist team were well known for their physical fitness.[3] They have been described as "fitness freaks" and are "embracing curling's athletic evolution as much or more than any other team".[4]

Jacobs was born in Sault Ste. Marie, the son of Bob and Cynthia Jacobs (née Harnden).[1]
