Erkan Zengin (born 5 August 1985 in Fittja, Botkyrka, Stockholm County) is a Swedish football player of Turkish descent.

He got his first contact with football playing at the playgrounds in Fittja and was not a part of a team until he was nine years old, when he came to Hammarby's youth academy. As a 17-year-old, he played some matches for the Turkish U18 national team. He has later changed his nationality and is today a Swedish U-21-player.

He made his Allsvenskan debut for Hammarby in 2004 when he came on as a substitute in a match against Malmö FF. The year after, he got his breakthrough as a right wing midfielder, the position he prefers to play at. However, Zengin is a very versatile player and can be used all over the midfield.
