Jake McCabe (born October 12, 1993) is an American ice hockey defenceman for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted by the Sabres in the 2nd round (44th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

McCabe spent three seasons playing for the Wisconsin Badgers in the NCAA Men's Division I Big Ten Conference. In his junior year, McCabe's outstanding play was rewarded with a selection to the 2013–14 All-Big Ten First Team.[1]

On April 2, 2014, the Sabres signed McCabe to a three-year entry level contract, with the intent of having him join the Sabres' active roster.[2][3] He made his NHL debut the following day, skating 16:20 with the Sabres in a 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues.[4][5]
