Jakob Hoff Oftebro (born 12 January 1986) is a Norwegian actor. He has appeared in more than twenty films since 2004 including Hamilton and Kon-Tiki, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 85th Academy Awards.[1]

In 2014, he was cast as a lead in the Danish television production of 1864, a war epic. The series made headlines in Scandinavia due to its massive budget, one of the largest in Danish television history.[2]

Jakob's half-brother is actor Jonas Hoff Oftebro (born 7 May 1996, Oslo), the son of Nils Ole Oftebro and Anette Hoff.
