Mohamed Ayoub Ferjani (born July 27, 1986) is a male foil fencer from Tunisia, African champion in 2013 and 2015. He is the elder brother of sabre fencer Fares Ferjani.[1]

Ferjani almost never takes part in Fencing World Cup competitions, but participates in continental championships in both foil and épée. His first significant result was a double bronze medal in épée and foil at the 2007 All-Africa Games in Algiers. He stopped fencing épée in international competitions in 2012. He qualified to represent his country in men's foil at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[2] He will compete in Rio de Janeiro with his brother Fares, who qualified in men's sabre.

Ferjani teaches fencing in Trappes and Montigny-le-Bretonneux, in the vicinity of Paris. He is also an international referee for foil and was named the second best referee in this weapon in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
