Hans Jacobson (March 17, 1947 – July 9, 1984) was a Swedish modern pentathlete, fencer and Olympic Champion. He competed at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, where he won a gold medal in épée with the Swedish team.[1][2] He originally won a bronze medal in the modern pentathlon team competition at the 1968 Summer Olympics along with Björn Ferm and Hans-Gunnar Liljenvall. However, he was stripped of the medal after Liljenvall failed a drug test (for alcohol).[3]
Jacobson represented K1 IF and Djurgårdens IF.[4] For Djurgårdens IF, he became the 1974 Swedish champion in individual épée and eight-time champion in team épée.[5][6]
