Jakob Let Haugaard (born 1 May 1992) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
Haugaard began his career with Akademisk BK before moving to Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland in December 2011. He was used as back-up 'keeper until the 2014–15 season where he helped Midtjylland win the Danish title. In the summer of 2015 Haugaard joined English Premier League side Stoke City.
Haugaard was born in Sundby and played in the youth teams at Tårnby Boldklub and Brøndby IF before he signed with Danish 1st Division side Akademisk BK in 2010. He broke through into the first team towards the end of the 2010–11 season playing 14 matches with the Gladsaxe Stadium club. His performances for AB attracted the interest of Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland.
He signed for Midtjylland in December 2011. He spent the 2011–12 season with the reserve team. He made his Midtjylland debut on 27 July 2012 in a 2–2 draw away at AC Horsens. He went and played seven matches during the 2012–13 season. In 2013–14 he was used as back-up to Jonas Lössl and only made one appearance. The 2014–15 season was Haugaard's break-through season at Midtjylland as he played 23 times as the Wolves won their first Danish title.
On 27 May 2015 Haugaard signed a three-year contract with English Premier League side Stoke City. Haugaard replaced compatriot Thomas Sørensen at the Britannia Stadium and Haugaard stated that he hopes to have the same impact as Sørensen. He made his debut for Stoke on 9 January 2016 in a 2–1 FA Cup victory away at Doncaster Rovers. Following a long-term injury to first choice goalkeeper Jack Butland, Haugaard was given his Premier League debut on 2 April 2016 in a 2–2 draw with Swansea City. He endured a tough time in his next match, away at Liverpool where he conceded four goals. He shared goalkeeper duties with Shay Given until the end of the 2015–16 season.
