Arijan Ademi (Macedonian: Аријан Адеми, Albanian: Arijan Ademi; born 29 May 1991) is a Macedonian professional footballer who plays for GNK Dinamo Zagreb and Macedonian national team. He is currently suspended until October 2017 for doping. Ademi started his professional career at Šibenik, debuting for the senior squad on 22 March 2008 aged just 16 years. On 16 June 2010 he was transferred to reigning Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb.

At international level, Ademi was capped 17 times for the under-19 team and scored two goals. He took part at the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship where he made four appearances for Croatian side which reached the semi-finals and scored a goal. He also made four appearances in the friendly matches for the under-18 team. Although appearing in three friendly matches for the Croatian senior national team, on 9 October 2014 he debuted for the Macedonia national team in an official match.

On 22 November 2015, Ademi received a four-year suspension for doping after it was announced that he had failed a post-match drugs test following Dinamo Zagreb's 2–1 Champions League home victory over Arsenal on 16 September. Dinamo Zagreb coach Zoran Mamic said the club would appeal. The appeal was ultimately denied by UEFA.

Ademi began his career at Šibenik where he was promoted to the first team on 15 September 2007. He made his first senior appearance for the club on 22 March 2008 in a match against Dinamo Zagreb. He featured as a 63rd-minute substitute for Gabriel in a match Šibenik lost 5–1. The following season Ademi made 28 appearance for the senior squad, 16 of which he started in the first eleven. The 2009–10 Prva HNL was the most successful for Ademi as he made 27 appearances in the first eleven and scored two goals. He scored his first league goal on 25 July 2009 in an away match against Croatia Sesvete which Šibenik won 2–1. He was also the youngest player that captained any Prva HNL club that season.
