Rolf Jacobsen (8 March 1907 – 20 February 1994) was a Norwegian author.
Jacobsen could be said to be the first modernist writer in Norway.
Jacobsen's career as a writer spanned more than fifty years.
He is one of Scandinavia’s most distinguished poets, who launched poetic modernism in Norway with his first book, Jord og jern in 1933.
Jacobsen's work has been translated into over twenty languages.
The central theme in his work is the balance between nature and technology – he was called "the Green Poet" in Norwegian literature.
