Jebsen & Co Ltd. (Chinese: 捷成洋行) is a marketing and distribution company based and headquartered in Hong Kong. It is the agent for a range of businesses throughout East Asia, including luxury products, beverages, electronic consumer goods, and industrial equipment.

Originally founded in 1895 as a shipping agency, by Heinrich Jessen and Jacob Jebsen, Jebsen & Co later embraced the import-export trade business in the early years of British colonial rule. In 1953, Jebsen imported the first Volkswagen Beetle into Hong Kong. In 1963, the company was required to temporarily close its offices in China, afterwards opening them again in the late 1970s.
