Schalk Jakobus Petrus Ferreira (born 9 February 1984) is a South African rugby union player for the Southern Kings in the Pro14.

Ferreira made six starts and one appearance from the bench in the expanded 2006 Vodacom Cup as Western Province finished in seventh position in the fourteen-team competition.

He was also included in their Currie Cup squad for the first time in 2006 and made his debut in the competition as a late replacement in their 25–18 opening round victory over the Pumas in Witbank.

[17] He played in ten of their fourteen matches during the regular season – starting three of those – as Western Province finished third on the log to qualify for the play-offs.

He made his Super Rugby debut in Round Three of the competition, replacing Brok Harris in the second half of their match against New Zealand side the Chiefs in a 21–16 win in Cape Town.

[19] He appeared in nine of their remaining ten matches in the competition, which included the first Super Rugby start of his career – and only one of the season – in a 33–20 victory over another New Zealand side, the Blues, in Cape Town.

He played in eight of Western Province's first nine matches in the 2007 Currie Cup Premier Division before a fractured rib ruled him out of the remainder of the season.

[21] Ferreira suffered a neck injury in a car crash during the off-season prior to the 2008 Super 14 season[22] which ruled him out of the start of the competition.

Despite suggestions that Ferreira would be forced into retirement following the injury,[23] he returned to action for the final four rounds of the competition, making two starts and two appearances as a replacement as the Stormers just missed out on a play-off spot, finishing in fifth position on the log.

He dropped behind Wicus Blaauw in the pecking order for the remainder of the competition, making eight appearances off the bench as Western Province finished in fifth position, missing out on the play-offs.

Ferreira made just two appearances from the bench for the Stormers during the 2009 Super 14 season and also played one match for Western Province in the 2009 Vodacom Cup.

[28] Ferreira joined Port Elizabeth-based side the Eastern Province Kings on a two-month trial during the 2012 Currie Cup First Division,[29] which later turned into a permanent deal.
