Jacob Mayson (1808–1881) was a Norwegian-Danish actor manager.[1]

He succeeded Carl Wilhelm Orlamundt as the manager of the theater company which staffed the Trøndelag Teater in 1836–1839, and was succeeded by Gustav Wilhelm Selmer. As such he played a major part in the theater history of Trondheim, which had no other permanent theatre in a period when Norway was almost entirely dominated by travelling theatre companies from Denmark. Many major figures of the contemporary Norwegian theatre was employed in his company.
