Jēkabpils County (Latvian: Jēkabpils apriņķis) was a historic county of Latvia founded in 1924 which was dissolved during the administrative territorial reform of the Latvian SSR in 1949. It's predecessor was Jaunjelgavas apriņķis.

On 31 December 1949, it was spilt into smaller districts by the Soviet occupational authorities, of which most were later merged into Jēkabpils District.
