Jacopo Tiepolo (b. Venice; d. 1249, Venice) was doge of Venice from 1229-1249.

At the election for doge, Tiepolo and his rival Marino Dandolo were tied at 20 votes each, and Tiepolo was selected by drawing lots. This is thought to have sparked the feud between the Tiepolo and Dandolo families.[1]

Jacopo Tiepolo was the father of Lorenzo Tiepolo who served as doge from 1268 to 1275.
