Jacques Snicket is a fictional character from A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.

He has two siblings, Lemony and Kit Snicket. Kit was his twin sister. Jacques, along with his siblings, is a member of V.F.D. A tattoo of an eye is on his ankle, and because of this, and his one eyebrow, was mistaken for Count Olaf in The Vile Village. He was murdered in jail as he was about to be burned at the stake by Count Olaf (disguised as Detective Dupin) in order to frame Violet Baudelaire, Klaus Baudelaire, and Sunny Baudelaire.

In Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography, it was revealed that Jacques is a good friend of Jerome Squalor and that Jerome follows his advice. It was because of Jacques that Jerome bought the penthouse apartment in 667 Dark Avenue, for an unknown reason. Jacques did not want Jerome Squalor to marry Esmé, and sent a letter warning Jerome, but the letter was intercepted, possibly by the Hook-Handed Man who was disguised as a doorman. It was also revealed that Jacques disguises himself as a detective and is possibly the man who investigated the murder of Dr. Orwell, though this article was not published in the "Daily Punctilio".

In The Slippery Slope, the Baudelaires found a message that was thought to be for Jacques, but decided (with the later confirmation of Captain Widdershins) that no one would send a message to Jacques, since he was dead.

In The Penultimate Peril the Baudelaires learned that J.S., the mysterious receiver of the message in The Slippery Slope, was both Justice Strauss, following the orphans Mr. Poe had taken away and Jerome Squalor, following the footsteps of his deceased friend.
