Samir Ujkani (born 5 July 1988) is an Kosovo Albanian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Italian club Pisa, on loan from Genoa and the Kosovo national team. Ujkani previously represented Albania at full international level.
Ujkani was born in Resnik, a village near Vushtrri, Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo, at the time part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. His family then moved to Belgium six years after his birth.
At the age of thirteen, Ujkani enrolled into Ingelmunster, spending six years there before moving to Anderlecht. The Anderlecht football academy has a reputation of producing talented goalkeepers such as Jacky Munaron. Ujkani played until June 2007 for the Anderlecht Under-19s, and made also ten appearances with their reserves team. On June 2007, he agreed to sign a five-year contract with Palermo of the Italian Serie A.
Since then, Ujkani served as unused bench in two UEFA Cup matches for Palermo, and several Serie A matches as well. He was confirmed as third-choice goalkeeper for the Rosanero's 2008–09 season, and later promoted as second goalkeeper after the club chose to transfer-list veteran goalkeeper Alberto Fontana.
