Louis L. Jacobs is an American vertebrate paleontologist who discovered Malawisaurus while on an expedition in Malawi.

He is a professor of geological sciences at Dedman's College and the President of the Institute for the Study of Earth and Man (ISEM) at Southern Methodist University (SMU). At one point in time, he was the director of the Museum of Natural History in Dallas, Texas.
