Gidsken Jakobsen (August 1 1908 - 1990) was a Norwegian aviation pioneer.

She was among the first Norwegians who tried to establish commercial aviation in Norway, and in 1932 she established her own airline, making her the first female leader of a Scandinavian airline. When she registered her first airplane in Oslo (1939), she became the first to fly from Northern Norway to the capitol during winter.

Jakobsen was the second Norwegian woman who got a pilot's licence, at the age of 20. She got the highest rank of the 10 students attending the course.
