Ahmadiyya Mikayil oglu Jabrayilov (Template:Lang-az, Template:Lang-ru; Template:Lang-fr; 22 September 1920 – 11 October 1994) was a celebrated Azerbaijani activist of the French Resistance.

Jabrayilov was born in Ohud village, Shaki Rayon, Azerbaijani SSR, in 1920. He fought against the Germans in World War II and became known for his brave actions in battle. He was severely wounded during an operation to rescue 500 children, who were being deported as a labor force to Germany. Dressed as a German army captain, with a German I.D. on him, he was picked up by a German patrol and delivered to a military hospital. After treatment in hospital he was appointed deputy to the German commandant of the town of Albi. He used this position to free hundreds of prisoners from German captivity. The German command offered a reward of 10,000 Reichsmarks for the head of Jabrayilov. However Jabrayilov continued his daring actions against the Germans until the end of the war. He personally knew the leader of the French Resistance Charles de Gaulle.

For his services Jabrayilov received high military decorations of France, amongst others the orders of the Médaille militaire, Croix de guerre and the Combatant's Cross. After the end of World War II he was granted French citizenship and worked for the French government. However, in 1948 he decided to return to his native country.

Like other returning war prisoners, Jabrayilov was subject to a screening process in which the returning servicemen were to be individually cleared or arrested for collaboration with the enemy under a regimen of often-arbitrary security checks done by the NKVD – of the majority who were cleared, many were still placed under restrictions. Though never arrested in the end, Jabrayilov remained under a cloud of suspicion and for a while was permitted work only as a shepherd at the local kolkhoz. He was deprived of his decorations, which were kept in a museum, and lived in obscurity until the early 1960s, when French war veterans started inquiring about their friend.

In 1966, French President Charles de Gaulle expressed a wish to see Jabrayilov during his first visit to the USSR. Jabrayilov was immediately brought from his village to Moscow to meet de Gaulle.

Jabrayilov died in Shaki, Azerbaijan on 11 October, 1994.
