'''Lambert Ferri''' (fl. c. 1250–1300) was a trouvère and cleric at the Benedictine monastery at Saint-Léonard, Pas-de-Calais. By 1268, he was a canon and a deacon of the monastery; he is last associated with the monastery in 1282.
He was a popular partner for ''jeux partis'', of which some twenty-seven survive between him and other composers, including Jehan Bretel, Jehan le Cuvelier d'Arras, Jehan de Grieviler, Jehan de Marli, Phelipot Verdiere, Robert Casnois, and Robert de La Pierre.<ref>Michelle F. Stewart (1979), "The Melodic Structure of Thirteenth-Century ''Jeux-Partis''," ''Acta Musicologica'', '''51'''(1), 86–107.</ref> Eleven of his songs have surviving melodies, including seven of the ''jeux partis'', three ''chansons'', and one Marian ''serventois''.
