Erton Fejzullahu (born 9 April 1988) is an Kosovo Albanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Norwegian club Sarpsborg 08.

Fejzullahu was born in Mitrovica, SFR Yugoslavia. He came to Sweden as a three year old and grew up in the town of Karlshamn. He holds Kosovan,Albanian and Swedish passports. He has represented the Sweden U21. The Football Association of Albania previously called-up the striker, but he rejected the offer stating his desire to represent Sweden.

Fejzullahu began his career with fifth tier team Högadals IS, before moving to Danish side FC Copenhagen in 2005.

On January 2007. Fejzullahu returned to Sweden to sign with Mjällby AIF, who played in the second tier Superettan at that time and therefore was the highest level club near his hometown. There Fejzullahu adjusted to first team football and eventually had a big breakthrough in the 2009 Superettan, where he scored 13 goals in 14 games during the first half of the season and played a key role in eliminating two Allsvenskan teams in the Svenska Cupen.

On 17 July 2009. Eredivisie club NEC Nijmegen signed Fejzullahu on a four-year contract. He started out well and was a regular starter during his first year with the Dutch club. In his second year he found playing time harder to come by and was loaned out for a short period to Danish club Randers FC. He then went on a second loan back home to Mjällby for the second half of the 2011 Allsvenskan season. At first he struggled while playing for his old club. Fejzullahu later stated that this was caused by bad form and him lacking both mentally and physically at the time. He stayed with Mjällby for the first half of the following season too and there he finally started showing improved form, scoring six goals in 15 games. As the loan ended in the summer of 2012 Mjällby wanted to sign him permanently but could not afford it.
