Hajji Jabagh Qazanoqo (Kabardian: Къэзэнокъуэ Жэбагъы, romanized: Qəzənoqwe Jəbağı; Adyghe: Къэзэнэкъо Джэбэгъ, romanized: Qəzenəqo Djəbəğ; Russian: Жабаги Казаноков, romanized: Jabagi Kazanokov; sometimes called as Jabagh al-Sharkassy) was a Kabardian Circassian philosopher, Islamic scholar, poet, military strategist, politician and diplomat who supported the idea of a united and fully independent Northern Caucasus, laying the ideological foundation for the MRNC.

Due to his rising fame, he was appointed as the personal advisor of the Kabardian Supreme Prince Aslanbek I.

Qazanoqo is credited with reforming the Kabardian justice system based on the Quran and Adyghe Xabze.

However, this alliance came to an end 15 years after his death when Russia attacked Kabardia, starting the Russo-Circassian War.

He played a big role in the Battle of Kanzhal, where the Kabardian Circassians won with his strategy.
