Ludowika Jakobsson (née Eilers, born July 25, 1884 in Potsdam, Germany; died November 1, 1968 in Helsinki, Finland) was a German-Finnish figure skater, who became Olympic Champion in 1920 in Pairs and three time World champion together with skating partner and husband Walter Jakobsson.
Ludowika Eilers married her Finnish figure skating partner Walter Jakobsson in 1911. Therefore the International Skating Union counts their medals 1910 and 1911 at the Worlds half for Germany and half for Finland. After the marriage she became a true Finn.
Ludowika Jakobsson-Eilers was also successful in Ladies' singles in figure skating. In 1911 she won the bronze medal at the Worlds representing still Germany.
In 1920 Ludowika Jakobsson-Eilers was the only German born athlete at the Olympics in Antwerp.
