Karim Essediri (Arabic: كريم اصديري) (born July 29, 1979) is a French-Tunisian footballer. He currently plays for Lillestrøm SK in the Norwegian Premier League.
Before joining Lillestrøm SK in 2006, he played for Rosenborg B.K., Tromsø I.L., Club Meaux (France), Red Star 93 (France), and Club Africain (Tunisia).
Essediri experienced a tough start at Tromsø, and was given partial blame for the club's 2001 relegation. The following year he was lent out to the another Norwegian club F.K. Bodø/Glimt. When he returned to Tromsø, he was not considered first-team material. However, the arrival of Per Mathias Høgmo as head coach made Essediri the starting right winger in Høgmo's counter attacking style of play. Essediri's pace made him an important figure in setting up Tromsø I.L.'s counter attacks, and he ended the 2004 season being among the top three for assists in the Premier League. Essediri had successfully turned from scapegoat in 2001 to hero in 2004.
Following his success at Tromsø, Essediri was picked for several matches for Tunisia, both in the World Cup 2006, and the 2005 Confederations Cup.
