Veli Vasjari (1887–1944) was an Albanian public official and patriot who gave a considerable contribution in the early development of police institutions in Albania.

[1] In the personal state archive file of Veli Vasjari, he is mentioned as having studied at the Vefa Gymnasium in Istanbul and was proficient in Turkish, Greek and Italian.

The following year, a contingent of dutch officers arrived in the country and were tasked by the Great Powers to organize the Albanian Armed Forces.

With the relocation of the capital to Durrës, Vasjari came in charge of the State Police and served as its director from April 1 until June 30.

Vasjari was killed on May 12, 1944 during a skirmish between communist partisans and the security entourage of the SATA company in the area between Grabovicë and Çërravë (Korçë region).
