Jacob Henry Schiff (born Jakob Heinrich Schiff; January 10, 1847 – September 25, 1920) was an American banker, businessman, and philanthropist. He helped finance, among many other things, the Japanese military efforts against Tsarist Russia in the Russo-Japanese War.

Historian George Kennan noted that Schiff helped finance revolutionary propaganda during the Russo-Japanese war and revolution of 1905. The Jewish Communal Register of New York City stated that "Mr. Schiff has always used his wealth and his influence in the best interests of his people. He financed the enemies of autocratic Russia and used his financial influence to keep Russia from the money markets of the United States." Henry Wickham Steed, the chief editor of The Times during the period, argued that this aid went beyond the Kerensky regime, stating that "the prime movers [of the Bolshevik revolution] were Jacob Schiff, Warburg, and other international financiers, who wished above all to bolster up the Jewish Bolsheviks in order to secure a field for German and Jewish exploitation of Russia." Historian Juri Lina, in his book, Under the Sign of the Scorpion, based on telegrams between New York and the Bolshevik revolutionaries claims that it was actually Schiff, not Lenin, who gave the order to kill the Tsar and his family. Complementary to these views, the Hoover Institution scholar, Antony C. Sutton, who specialized in the role of Western technological and financial transfers in building up the Soviet state, noted "Probably the most superficially damning collection of documents on the Jewish conspiracy is in the State Department Decimal File (861.00/5339)." It states that Schiff's firm, Kuhn, Loeb, & Co., supported the Bolsheviks and this support continued beyond the revolution, writing that "Jacob Schiff in fact made a public announcement that it was due to his financial influence that the Russian revolution was successfully accomplished and in the Spring 1917 Jacob Schiff started to finance Trotsky, a Jew, for the purpose of accomplishing a social revolution in Russia." Sutton concludes, "none of the above statements can be supported with hard empirical evidence...Moveover[sic], when statements and assertions are not supported by hard evidence and where attempts to unearth hard evidence lead in a circle back to the starting point — particularly when everyone is quoting everyone else — then we must reject the story as spurious."
