Islam Salieh Feruz (born 10 September 1995) is a professional footballer who play as a centre forward. Born in Somalia, he represented Scotland at youth level.

Feruz spent most of his youth career with Celtic, before moving to Chelsea in September 2011 after rejecting a professional contract with the Scottish club. He never made a competitive appearance for the Chelsea first team, having mostly represented the team at U21 levels. He had loan spells at OFI Crete, Blackpool, Hibernian, Royal Excel Mouscron and Swindon Town, but these were all brief and unsuccessful. His contract with Chelsea expired in 2019.

Feruz is a naturalised citizen of the United Kingdom. He declared in 2009 that he would play for the Scotland national football team, and represented the country at several youth levels. In April 2020, it was reported that Feruz had given up football to set up a company selling designer caps. In August 2023 Feruz signed a contract with Radnički Niš^[3] only to be released two months later without making a single appearance.
