Xhemal Pasha Zogu ([dʒɛ'mal pa'ʃa 'zɔɡu]; 1860-1911), also known as Jamal Pasha or Jamal Pasha Zogolli, was the Hereditary Governor of Mati, Albania (at the time part of the Ottoman Empire). He was the father of King Zog I of Albania.
Born at Castle Burgajet, Mati (or Constantinople), in 1860, he was the third son of Xhelal Pasha Zogolli. He was educated privately and became Hereditary Governor of Mati upon the death of his older brother, Riza.
He married Zenja Malika Khanum (Melek Hanem) (Castle Burgajet, Mati, c. 1860 - Castle Burgajet, Mati, 1884), his cousin germain, in Mati in 1880; after she died in childbirth in 1884 he married Sadiya Khanum (Sadijé Hanem) in Mati in 1887. Her title was later changed to Nëna Mbretëreshë i Shqiptarëvet ("Queen Mother of the Albanians").
He became involved in an insurrection against the Ottomans planned for June 1903, which did not take place.
