Zar'a Ya`qob atau Zera Yacob (Ge'ez ዘርአ:ያዕቆብ zar'ā yāʿiqōb "Benih Yakub," modern zer'a yā'iqōb) (1399–1468) adalah nəgusä nägäst (19 atau 20 Juni^[1] 1434–1468) Ethiopia (nama takhta Kwestantinos I Ge'ez ቈስታንቲኖስ qʷastāntīnōs atau Konstantinus I), dan anggota dinasti Salomo. Ia lahir di Tilq, provinsi Fatagar (kini bagian dari wilayah Oromia, dekat Sungai Awash) sebagai anak sulung dari pasangan Dawit I dan istri termudanya, Igzi Kebra.

Edward Ullendorff menyatakan bahwa Zara Yaqob "tidak diragukan lagi adalah penguasa terbesar Ethiopia semenjak masa Ezana, selama masa kejayaan Aksum, dan tidak ada penerus-penerusnya – kecuali Menelik II dan Haile Selassie – yang dapat dibandingkan dengannya."^[2]

Getachew Haile explains this discrepancy by suggesting that the ceremony lasted two days.
