Jacob Olie (1834 – 1905) was a photographer from Amsterdam known for his scenes of everyday life there.

Jacob Olie's well-thumbed copy of the French encyclopedia called Descriptions des Arts et Métiers, given to the special collections department of the University of Amsterdam by Olie's great grandson

Olie was born in Amsterdam and was trained as a carpenter and draughtsman.[1] He became a teacher at the local school for craftsmen known as the Ambachtsschool, converting it to be the first ever vocational school of the Netherlands for boys.[2] He took up photography as a hobby. Today he is known for his unusually sharp depictions of various parts of Amsterdam that no longer exist. His son by the same name also became a photorapher.
