The River Jakobselva is a river that runs along the border between Norway and Russia, specifically the border of Sør-Varanger municipality in Troms og Finnmark in Norway and Pechengsky district in Murmansk Oblast in Russia. It discharges into the Varangerfjorden, a bay of the Barents Sea.
This river is known as a superb salmon fishing river but where the river forms the border only Norwegian citizens and long-term residents of Norway are permitted to fish and then only on the Norwegian side. The Russian side is normally not accessible.
The Jakobselva gives its name to the small village of Grense Jakobselv which is situated near the mouth of the river on the Norwegian side.
