Endri Çekiçi (born 23 November 1996) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a Winger for Lokomotiva Zagreb, on loan from Dinamo Zagreb and the Albania under-21 national team.

Çekiçi started his career with his local club KS Pogradeci in 2008, where he made his professional debut on 16 February 2013 at the age of 16 years, 2 months and 24 days old. He came on as a 56th-minute substitute for the goalscorer Vangjel Zguro in a home Albanian First Division fixture against Besëlidhja Lezhë which ended in a 1–0 win for Pogradeci. He was in the starting formation for his next game a month later on 16 March in a 3–0 home win against Naftëtari Kuçovë, where he was subbed off for Kristi Laçka in the 58th minute. He scored his first professional goal on 4 May 2013 against Burreli, scoring in the 11th minute to put his side 2–0 up, but it wasn't any enough as Burreli came from behind to take the 2–3 elite and to win the match. In total he made 6 league appearances for the club during the 2012–13 season, scoring one goal in the process to help his side finish 5th in the league.

He joined Albanian Superliga side Teuta Durrës in the summer of 2013 ahead of the club's Europa League qualifier against Moldovan side FC Dacia Chișinău. Çekiçi came on as an 81st-minute substitute in the home leg of the fixture which ended in 3–1 win for Teuta Durrës.

Çekiçi had a successful trial with Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb in the summer of 2013 and eventually completed a transfer to the club after Dinamo Zagreb agreed to pay €60,000 to Teuta Durrës. He joined the club's youth team where he excelled in both domestic and international youth competitions.
