Grense Jakobselv is a small settlement on the Barents Sea at the mouth of the Jakobselva river, in Finnmark, Norway. It lies 60km by road east of Kirkenes.
The river forms the border with Russia, and there is a small post of the Sør-Varanger garrison of the Norwegian Army, from where border patrols are made. However there is no public border crossing at this point.
In the village there is a stone chapel built in 1869, King Oscar II's Chapel. The church was built to reinforce Norway's territorial claim to the area, and was named after Oscar II of Sweden and Norway.
