Jacob Bennedsen Trenskow (born 26 November 2000) is a Danish footballer who plays as a forward for club Heerenveen.
Club career Having been a youth player in Aarhus GF, Trenskow started his senior career with AC Horsens in 2020. He was first given a contract up until the winter break. After playing the 2021 season with Faroese club NSÍ Runavík, Trenskow moved back to Denmark proper and joined second-tier club HB Køge. It took a while before he established himself as a starting player. In the 2022–23 Danish 1st Division, however, Trenskow started 29 of the 30 games he played, scoring 7 goals.
In the summer of 2023, he rejected a contract offer from Køge, and joined Kalmar FF in the middle of the 2023 Allsvenskan season. Trenskow was praised for his 2024 pre-season, which included three goals in the 2023–24 Svenska Cupen. He scored his first Kalmar goal on 8 April 2024 against Sirius. Regarding the start of the 2024 season, Expressen called him "one of the few glimpses of light in a mostly pitch-black Kalmar".
On 9 August 2024, Trenskow signed a four-year contract with Heerenveen in the Netherlands.
National team In May 2026, he was included in the Danish national team for the first time for the friendly matches against DR Congo and Ukraine.
