Safet Gjici (born 30 April 1972) is an Albanian businessman who is the CEO of EuroGjici Security and Kevin Construction. He is also the president of the football club FK Kukësi. He was the Socialist Party candidate in the municipality of Kamëz in the 2015 local elections, but he lost to the Democratic Party candidate Xhelal Mziu.[1] He was then elected in the 2019 Kukës mayoral election, which he won.

Gjici later resigned on 17 June 2023 over a sex tape scandal in which he was shown receiving oral sex in his office.[2]
