Talal El Karkouri (Arabic: طلال القرقوري) (born July 8, 1976 in Casablanca) is a professional Moroccan footballer.
He started his career in Raja Casablanca, and was discovered by French giants Paris Saint-Germain in 2000. He played in the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League, but failing to capture a regular place he was sent on loan to Aris in Greece and Sunderland in England. In the summer of 2004 he was bought by Charlton Athletic for £1m.
El Karkouri has been capped 31 times and scored 1 goal for Morocco. He was part of the team that finished second in the 2004 African Nations Cup.
After grabbing 5 goals in his debut season with the Addicks, including the clubs goal of the season against Arsenal, he recently grabbed his first goal in over 18 months with a stoppage time winner against Blackburn Rovers.
On 30 December 2006, El Karkouri was yellow carded by referee Rob Styles for an act of simulation in a home match against Aston Villa involving Villa defender Olof Mellberg.
