Datu Yacob Lumenda Ampatuan is a public servant in the Philippines. His parents, Datu Ishak Ampatuan and Bai Puti Lumenda, were former municipal and provincial officials in Maguindanao. His brother, Zamzamin Lumenda Ampatuan is the position of Undersecretary for Special Concerns and for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao at the Department of Agriculture. Datu Yacob is descended from Shariff Ampatuan and the grandson of Saiduna Mustafa.

The public perception of the Ampatuan clan, to which he belongs, was marred by the Maguindanao massacre. Authorities identified Andal Ampatuan Jr., known as "Datu Unsay," as the primary suspect. During the brief imposition of Martial Law in Maguindanao following the massacre, Datu Unsay's father, Datu Andal Ampatuan, along with his brothers, was taken into custody.[1]

To alleviate the rising tensions, his brother Datu Zamzamin persuaded Datu Unsay to comply with legal proceedings and offered guidance to government officials on managing the aftermath of the massacre, aiming to mitigate its effects on the daily lives of the residents in Maguindanao.[2]
