Elena Sadiku (born 6 November 1993) is a Swedish former football midfielder. She was an Under-19 international. She started her career with LdB Malmö, before moving to 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 played 6 games for Hammarby in 2017, scoring once, before retiring due to recurring problems with injuries. In February 2018 Sadiku accepted a coaching role with Chinese Women's Super League club Beijing BG Phoenix.
