Yakub Cemil (1883–1916) was an Ottoman revolutionary and soldier who assassinated Nazım Pasha during the 1913 Ottoman coup d'état.[1] In 1916, he was arrested, sentenced to death, and executed.[2]

During the Caucasus campaign, troops under the command of Cemil carried out some of the first major massacres of Armenians.[3]
