Louis Ferretti is a fictional character in the Stargate universe. He first appeared in the Stargate film, where he was played by French Stewart. Afterwards he also appears in the television series Stargate SG-1, this time played by Brent Stait.
Louis Ferretti is a member of the United States Air Force and was part of the first expedition that journeyed through the Stargate to Abydos. When Daniel Jackson revealed that he couldn't open the gate to bring them back, Ferretti became very angry at him and even scattered Jackson's books over the desert terrain. However because of this the team was able to come into contact with the natives of the planet. Later Ferretti led the forces fortifying the pyramid while Jack O'Neil and Daniel Jackson made contact with the Abydonians. When Ra appeared he fought against his troops and was one of the four survivors of the expedition and, together with Colonel O'Neil and Lieutenant Charles Kawalsky, returned to Earth after Ra's death.
After Apophis attacked Stargate Command, he, together with his former teammates, was questioned by General Hammond. After O'Neill convinced the general to let him go to Abydos, Ferretti again was part of O'Neill's team. However when Apophis also attacked Abydos, Ferretti was severally injured by the Goa'uld's Jaffa but was able to remember the symbols of the planet to which Apophis went - which turned out to be Chulak.
Some time after the death of Charles Kawalsky in "The Enemy Within", Ferretti was put in charge of SG-2. In this position he was ordered by General Hammond to follow SG-1 through the Stargate when they violated orders to save the Earth from a Goa'uld attack in the episode "Within the Serpent's Grasp". Since then he has not made any appearances.
Ferretti was mentioned in season three episode "Shades of Grey" by Jackson, who speculated that Ferretti may become the new leader of SG-1 after O'Neill left the team.
