Vasfi Samimi Visoka (1908–1981) was an Albanian footballer, writer, doctor and veterinarian. He was the first Albanian footballer to play competitively abroad, as he was part of the Fenerbahçe side for the 1927–1928 campaign. Upon his return to Albania he played for both Sportklub Vlorë and Sportklub Tiranë. He was part of the Sportklub Tiranë squad between 1930 and 1931, but was not a regular member of the team because of his activities outside of football.
