Damion Kemar Jacobs (born 15 February 1985) is a Jamaican cricketer who plays for the Jamaican national side in West Indian domestic cricket. He is a right-arm leg spin bowler.

From Kingston, Jacobs made his first-class debut for Jamaica during the 2013–14 Regional Four Day Competition.[1] In only his fourth match, which was the competition's final, he took figures of 8/47 in the Windward Islands' first innings (and 10/122 for the match).[2] Only four Jamaicans have taken better figures in an innings in first-class cricket.[3] Jacobs continued his good form during the 2014–15 season, taking 48 wickets to finish as Jamaica's leading wicket-taker (and fifth in the competition).[4] His season included figures of 5/27 and 7/54 against the Leeward Islands (in separate matches), 5/67 against Guyana, and 7/72 against the Windwards.[1]

He was selected in the 2017 CPL player draft by the Barbados Tridents.[5] He made his Twenty20 debut for Barbados Tridents in the 2017 Caribbean Premier League on 20 August 2017.[6]

In May 2018, he was selected to play for the Leeward Islands national cricket team in the Professional Cricket League draft, ahead of the 2018–19 season.[7] [8] In June 2021, he was selected to take part in the Minor League Cricket tournament in the United States following the players' draft.[9]
