Jacob "Nees" Neestrup Hansen (born 8 March 1988) is a Danish professional football manager and former player who is the manager of Danish Superliga club F.C. Copenhagen.

A former midfielder, Neestrup emerged from the FC Copenhagen youth academy, but saw his career mostly diminished due to injuries. After retiring in 2011, he embarked on a career in management. He was appointed head coach of second-tier 1st Division club Viborg in June 2019, after having worked as an assistant at Copenhagen the season before.
