Jaroslav Jakubovič (born 1948) is a Czech jazz saxophonist, composer and record producer.

Born in Czechoslovakia, Jakubovič emigrated to Israel, via Switzerland in 1968, as a result of the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. He then moved to Berkley, got married and moved to New York, where he was signed by the prestigious label Columbia Records. Jakubovic was particularly active as a session musician in New York in the 1970s and worked with such prominent musicians as Paul Simon, The Jackson 5, Bette Midler, Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton and Buddy Rich.

He returned briefly to the Czech Republic in 1998, at the invitation of President Havel, but returned properly only in 2009 to play at the Usti International Jazz and Blues Festival.

In 1985 he recorded the instrumental album Waiting For Messiah featuring jazz adaptations of the songs of Shalom Hanoch. The album was re-issued in 2009. In 2000 he moved back to New York and established a jazz-folk ensemble playing original compositions and covers of well-known songs. His 2009 album Coincidence was recorded with such well-known jazz musicians as Randy Brecker and Adam Nussbaum.

In 2010 Jakubovič' appeared at the Red Sea Jazz Festival alongside his son Daniel on guitar.
