Migen Memelli (born 25 April 1980 in Lushnjë) is a professional Albanian footballer who plays a striker. He is known for his goalscoring ability, and has twice been the top goalscorer in the Albanian Superliga.
Memelli began his professional career with Skënderbeu Korçë in 1999 as a 19-year-old, where he scored 12 goals in 26 league games but could not help his side further as they finished bottom of the table and were subsequently relegated from the Albanian Superliga. He also scored 3 times in the Albanian Cup which took his tally to 15 goals for the season in all competitions. He left the club following their relegation and joined Superliga side Teuta Durrës in the summer transfer window of 2001, and he scored 4 times in 19 games in his first season to help his side finish in a respectable 4th place in the league. He also scored another 4 goals in the Albanian Cup as Teuta Durrës reached the semi-finals. The following season he scored 8 goals in 21 league games as Teuta Durrës finished 4th once again. He also scored 3 goals in the Albanian Cup as his side reached the final, which they eventually lost 1–0 to Dinamo Tirana, as he came on as a 63rd minute for Gentian Begeja in the final.
He moved to KF Elbasani in 2003 and immediately became a first team player, netting 12 league goals in 29 games as KF Elbasani finished one place above the relegation zone. In the Albanian Cup he scored a first half hattrick against KS Devolli, and added another goal against Albpetrol Patos as he reached the quarter finals, and ended the season with 16 goals in all competitions. He joined newly promoted side KF Laçi in 2004 but did not have a fruitful experience, only featuring in 4 league games and scoring just once before returning to KF Elbasani in January 2005. He helped the club finish runners-up in the league with his 4 goals in 17 games, as well as scoring another goal in the Albanian Cup quarter finals as his side were knocked out by Teuta Durrës, taking his goal tally for season to 6 goals in all competitions for both clubs, the lowest of his career at the time. He rejoined Skënderbeu Korçë ahead of the 2005–06 campaign, and he scored on his second debut with the club in the first week of the Albanian Superliga in a 1–1 draw with Teuta Durrës. He scored 8 goals in 12 games in the first half of the season which attracted the interest of several foreign clubs, which included Norwegian side Brann who offered the player a trial in January 2006.
