Ferit Şahenk (, born 1964) is the chairman of Doğuş Group and one of the richest people in Turkey.
Şahenk graduated from The American School in Switzerland (TASIS) and earned his B.A. from Boston College with a degree in Marketing and Human Resources in 1989.
After eight years he moved to the holding company, and beginning in 1998, he has acquired two food retail chains and operated NTV by funding the expansion by selling part of the group's Garanti Bank to the public.
Understanding that top talent is essential to running a diverse group, he also created a recruitment division, Humanitas.
Revenues for 1999 at privately held Doğuş Group hit $5.7 billion.
In May 2000, he instituted centralized back-office operations for Doğuş' multiple banks and is doing the same for its auto dealerships.

He relinquished some control of the Garanti Bank, selling a quarter of the country's third largest bank to General Electric for $1.6 billion in 2004, which was regarded as an important step towards greater liberalization in the Turkish banking sector, which had been severely affected by the 2001 economic crisis.

The flattering of the government and Turkish PM with his media company has been widely criticized and protested against by Turkish citizens.
