Jacob Denzal Canady (born December 10, 1998), known professionally as ATL Jacob, is an American record producer. He gained recognition in 2022 following his string of successful productions for fellow Atlanta natives Tiny Harris and Future, having previously served as an in-house producer for his record label, Freebandz. His production style has been described as "dark" and "mellow".

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Canady began his music career at age 14. At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, he earned a nomination for Best Rap Song for his work on Future's "Wait for U". The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, while his other production, "Super Gremlin", by Florida rapper Kodak Black, peaked at number three on the chart that same year. The following year, he produced the single "Last Time I Saw You" for Nicki Minaj and released his debut single as a recording artist, "MF Problem". His 2024 single, "Luna" (with Feid), saw notable commercial success on international charts.

He was nominated as Producer of the Year for the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards and won Producer of the Year for the XXL Awards 2023.
