Orges Shehi (born 25 September 1977) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Albanian club Skënderbeu Korçë and the Albania national team. In July 2010 he joined Skënderbeu Korçë. He won 6 consecutive league titles (2010–11, 2011–12, 2012–13, 2013–14, 2014–15 & 2015–16).

Shehi began his career with local side Teuta Durrës as a teenager, and he made his professional debut for the club in the Albanian Superliga during the 1994–95 campaign. He had to wait another two seasons to become the regular second choice keeper, behind Kujtim Shtama. He made his European debut in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup on 24 July 1996 in the second leg against MFK Košice, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Shtama. Teuta ended up losing the game 2–1 and the tie 6–2 on aggregate. Overall, he ended up making 9 league appearances as his side finished in mid table, as well as reaching the quarter final of the Albanian Cup, narrowly being eliminated by KS Lushnja. He became the club's first choice keeper the following season, and he made 32 appearances in the league, missing just two games throughout the season as his side finished 5th.

He joined Bylis Ballsh on loan ahead of the 1997–98 season, and was an integral part of the club's highest ever finish, as they managed to reach third place, just two points behind the eventual winners KF Tirana. He helped the club reach Europe for the first time in their history, and they were tied against Slovakian side FK Senica, whom they lost to 5–1 on aggregate, with Shehi playing in both games. He left Bylis Ballsh after their European experience, and returned to his parent club Teuta.
