Jama Ali Jama (Somali: Jaamac Cali Jaamac, Arabic: جامع علي جامع) is a Somali politician. He was the President of Puntland from November 14, 2001, to May 8, 2002. The period of his presidency was overshadowed by the Puntland Crisis (2001–2002), which began after former president Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed rejected Jama's election. In May 2002 he was forcible deposed by Ethiopian troops seeking to install his political rival president.
