Professor Jacob Maitland is a character created by American author Robert M. Price as part of his Cthulhu Mythos writings. As noted by occult detective Anton Zarnak, he is a highly intelligent man, and later in life develops an extensive knowledge of the forces of the supernatural.
== History ==
As a young graduate assistant working towards his doctorate at the Sanbourne Institute of Pacific Antiquities, Maitland aided Anton Zarnak with a matter regarding the acquisition of occult texts.
Later, as a senior faculty member at Sanbourne, with the aid of his star pupil and the Bimini Glyphs, Maitland decoded the mysteries of the R'lyeh Text. Whatever he learned from the translation, it pushed him to destroy the Text to protect humankind.
