Baljit Sahni (born 12 January 1987) is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Chennaiyin in the Indian Super League.
Sahni had played for JCT for 5 years. In the 2009–10 season he scored the first hatrick of the season against Shillong Lajong. On 11 November 2009 however Sahni was seriously injured in a bike accident along with teammate Sunil Kumar Thakur in Margao, Goa while the team were preparing for an upcoming match against Salgaocar in the I-League. As a result of the accident Sahni required 25 stitches and he fractured his shin. At this point in the season Sahni was in top form with six goals in the opening seven matches. However on 28 January 2010 Sahni played in his first game since the accident, coming on as a second-half substitute and he even scored a goal as JCT Mills defeated Sporting Goa 2–0.
In 2010 Sahni signed with I-League giants East Bengal.
