Rabbi Yaakov, of the third amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael, is cited some hundred and forty-five times across thirty-one tractates, most heavily in Bava Kamma and Chullin, and is quoted in others' names some seventeen times.

More than one sage of Eretz Yisrael bears the name רבי יעקב and the Bavli's unqualified form does not separate them, so this entry is marked for review. He appears most often in the company of Rabbi Yochanan's rulings and those of the Usha tannaim.
