Vioresin Sinani (born 4 November 1977 in Shkodër) is a retired Albanian professional football who played the majority of his career at Vllaznia Shkodër as well as stints with Dinamo Tirana, KF Tirana and Besa Kavajë in Albania. He also played for NK Varteks in Croatia and Kayserispor in Turkey as well as the Albania national team. He is regarded as being one of the best strikers in Albanian football history, and is the all-time top goalscorer of the Albanian Superliga.
During the 2006–07 season, Sinani signed with the most successful club in Albania, KF Tirana, taking the number 9 in the process. He formed a very successful partnership in attack with the other striker from Shkodër, Hamdi Salihi, although he stayed only in the first part of the season. On 9 September 2006, in the team's second match of the season, Sinani scored his first three goals with Tirana shirt, recording a hat-trick in a 7–3 thrashing of Kastrioti Krujë at Qemal Stafa.
On 9 May 2007, in the last league match against Vllaznia Shkodër, Tirana needed at least a draw to confirm as the Champions of Albania for the 23th time while their closest league rivals Teuta Durrës had to win to grab the league. Sinani scored twice inside of two minutes, however, respectively in 34th and 35 minutes, helping Tirana to win the 23rd league title with a 4–2 win, althrought Teuta won 1–0 at Peqin against Shkumbini. In personal terms, Sinani, with his 23 league goals, won the Albanian Superliga Golden Boot as the league top goalscorer, beating out his rival Daniel Xhafaj.
