The ferrinho (in Cape Verdean Creole ferrinhu [feˈʁiɲu]) is a musical instrument, more precisely a scraped idiophone.

With the other hand, the player uses a metallic object, held horizontally, to scrape the bar with up-and-down movements.

A custom-made ferrinho is usually 90 centimeters long, with a straight-angle section to ease handling.

The ferrinho is used to mark the rhythm in funaná, a musical genre in Cape Verde.

A ferrinho is depicted on the back of the Cape Verdean 1,000 escudos note issued since 2015.
