Rod Frederick Jensen (born January 19, 1979 in Atherton, Queensland) is an Australian professional rugby league player, who now plays for Huddersfield Giants in Super League in the United Kingdom.

Jensen attended school at St Augustine's College and previously played for the North Queensland Cowboys in the National Rugby League competition.

He is known for his ability to play many positions with speed and agility and is nicknamed 'Rocket' accordingly. Jensen lived up to his nickname in the closing stages of the 2007 Super League with several length of the field tries including a burst from his own line versus Warrington Wolves where he put himself forward as one of Super League's fastest men by outpacing Kevin Penny who is one of the fastest players in Super League
