Elena Sadiku (born 6 November 1993) is a Swedish football midfielder of Kosovar descent, who plays for Hammarby of the Damallsvenskan. She previously represented LdB Malmö, Kristianstads DFF and Eskilstuna United.
Sadiku suffered a knee injury in July 2014. She scored a hat-trick in her comeback game a year later, only to suffer another serious knee injury a few days later. She was unable to play in 2016 and after suffering from depression, left Eskilstuna at the end of the season. Shortly afterwards, newly-promoted Hammarby announced that they had signed Sadiku and were hoping she could overcome her injuries and recapture her best form.
She was an Under-19 international.
