Jakup Ferri (c.1832 – 4 December 1879) was an Albanian fighter from Plav-Gusinje who served as a local leader in the League of Prizren's resistance during the Principality of Montenegro's attempt to subjugate his homeland in 1879.

His great-great-grandfather Gjergj Prentashi with his brother had left Kuči for Podgorica and then settled in Plav, where they converted to Islam.

[3] In WWII, the Ferri family largely supported Balli Kombëtar and organizations adjacent to it like the Second League of Prizren.

[4] Jakup Ferri's grandson Riza (son of Mehmed) was prefect of Dibra in WWII during the annexation of that area in Albania.

In wartime, his other grandson, Shemsi (son of Agan) was the prefect of Plav and a delegate of the Second League of Prizren for that area.

In 1878, together with many other fighters from Gjakova, they assassinated the Ottoman general Mehmet Ali Pasha who had been sent to pacify the region and force the locals to accept the decisions of the Great Powers.

[11] In literature, Jakup Ferri is a central character in Gjergj Fishta's The Highland Lute in the chapters (kangë) about the defense of Plav against Montenegro.
