Jurgen Vatnikaj (born 8 August 1995 in Tiranë) is an Albanian professional footballer who currently plays for Partizani Tirana in the Albanian Superliga.
Vatnikaj joined his hometown club Partizani Tirana at the age of 10 in 2005 where he progressed through the club's youth teams before joining local rivals KF Tirana in 2011, where he initially played for the club's under-17 side. After one season with the under-17s, he was promoted to the under-19s at KF Tirana but he left the club in January 2013 and returned to Partizani Tirana, where he also played for the club's under-19s side. He made his professional debut on the last day of the 2013–14 Albanian Superliga against KF Lushnja on 10 May 2014, where he came on as a 64th-minute substitute and scored the last goal of the game on the 89th minute in the 4–2 away win for Partizani Tirana.
With the arrivals of Sebino Plaku, Xhevahir Sukaj and Emanuele Morini, Vatnikaj found his chances limited at Partizani so he joined newly promoted Albanian Superliga side KF Tërbuni Pukë on loan ahead of the 2015–16 season.
Vatnikaj was a member of the Albania U15s team under Sulejman Demollari in 2009, where he was part of the squad that played qualifying games in Switzerland for the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics that were held in Singapore. In total he earned 2 caps and scored one goal, which came against Liechtenstein on 17 October 2009.
