Jürgen Fatmir Gjasula (born 5 December 1985 in Tirana, Albania) is an Albanian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Greuther Fürth and the Albania national football team. He also holds German citizenship.
Although he was born in Albania, Gjasula started his career in the town where he grew up at SC Freiburg in Germany in 2002. At the age of 17 he was put into the first team but didn't make any appearances.
He signed for 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 2004 and made it a total of seven appearances in one season.
In 2005, he was loaned in club FC St. Gallen on Swiss Super League. At first season with St Gallen, he became a box-to-box goalscoring threat and typical number 10 so he signed a contract in 2006.
He signed for Swiss Champions FC Basel as free agent on 2 June 2008. He scored his first goal for FC Basel on 10 July 2008 in a 6–1 win over Legia Warsaw in the Uhren Cup and made his competitive Basel debut on 18 July 2008, in a 2–1 win over BSC Young Boys at the Stade de Suisse, Wankdorf. He played his first European game in a Basel shirt on 30 July 2008 in a 1–1 Champions League Qualifying match draw against IFK Göteborg at Ullevi. On 18 June 2009, he was released by Basel after newly appointed manager Thorsten Fink decided not to offer him a new contract
