The Sanjak of İpek (Turkish: İpek sancak, Albanian: Sanxhaku i Pejës, Serbian: Пећки санџак) or Sanjak of Dukakin (Turkish: Dukakin sancak, Albanian: Sanxhaku i Dukagjinit, Serbian: Дукађински санџак) was a sanjak (an administrative division of the Ottoman Empire) with its capital in İpek (Peć), now in Kosovo.

In Fedor Karaczay's 1842 travel memoir, it was reported that the Sanjak of Dukakin included northeastern Albania and the larger part of the Metohija plain, and had three kadiluks: Dukakin, İpek, Yakova.

In 1900–1912 the Sanjak of İpek had four kazas: Peć, Gjakova, Gusinje and Berane.

Dukakin was firstly the name of an Ottoman kaza (in the Sanjak of Scutari), then in 1520, a sanjak with the name (Dukakin sancak) was established under the Rumelia Eyalet. The name of the sanjak's seat, İpek, was used interchangeably for the sanjak (İpek sancak).
