Astrit Selmani (born 13 May 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Allsvenskan club IFK Göteborg, on loan from Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Born in Sweden, he represents the Kosovo national team.

Born and raised in Sweden, Selmani is of Kosovo Albanian origin from Mitrovica. He was eligible to represent three countries on international level, either Albania, Kosovo or Sweden. On 17 March 2021, the Football Federation of Kosovo announced that Selmani had decided to represent their national team, and was planned to get called up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Sweden and Spain, but was ultimately left out of the squad due to testing positive for COVID-19.

Selmani was also called-up by Kosovo to the matches in June and September 2021, but due to the lack of a passport he was forced to stay as a unused substitute. On 15 September 2021, seven days after the end of the gathering in the September matches he received his passport. His debut with Kosovo came on 9 October 2021 in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Sweden after coming on as a substitute in the 70th minute in place of Zymer Bytyqi.

On 24 March 2022, Selmani scored his first goal for Kosovo in his fifth appearance for the country in a 5–0 home win over Burkina Faso.
