Iacopo Jacomelli (born 12 July 1921) is an Italian singer mostly active in the 1940s and the 1950s. He was born in Bordeaux, France.

In 1940, he founded a vocal quartet named Quartetto Egie together with Tata Giacobetti, Enrico Gentile and Enrico De Angelis.[1] They made their debut on 27 May 1940, at the Valle Theatre in Rome. They performed the song Bambina dall'abito blu ("little girl in a blue dress").

After a few months, he left the group, which replaced him with Virgilio Savona and changed the name to Quartetto Ritmo.
