Erando Karabeci (born 6 September 1988 in Tirana) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Albanian Superliga club Tirana as well as the Albanian national team. He mainly operates in the centre of midfield, but he can also play out wide as well as in a more defensive role in the midfield.
Born in Tiranë, Albania, Karabeci first joined local side Partizani Tirana at the age of 11 in 2000, where he progressed to the under-17s and then the under-19s, where he won the national championship with both age groups. He was promoted to the senior side during the 2006-07 season, where he made his professional debut as an 18-year-old in a home tie against Shkumbini Peqin on 23 December 2006. Karabeci came off the bench in the 89th minute for Gerhard Progni in the 2–0 win. He made another two league appearance that season in home wins over Kastrioti Krujë and Shkumbini Peqin once again. The following season, he still didn't break into the first team and only managed 3 league appearances throughout the 2007–08 campaign, including coming off the bench in the closing stages of a memorable Tirana Derby which ended in a 4–1 win for Partizani.
His breakthrough season came in 2008, when Shpëtim Duro took charge of Partizani, and Karabeci became one of the club's regular midfielders alongside Artan Karapici, Dritan Babamusta and Viktor Gjyla. He scored his first professional goal in the Tirana Derby against KF Tirana on 7 December 2008 in a 2–2 draw. Partizani struggled throughout the season, which ended in them finishing third from bottom and having to play Kastrioti Krujë in a play-out game for a spot in the following season's Albanian Superliga. The play-out game with Kastrioti ended was surrounded by controversy and notoriety, as Partizani lost 1–0 and the club's president Albert Xhani attacked the referee Arjan Mali for disallowing a Partizani equaliser. Following the game Partizani were relegated to the Albanian First Division and Karabeci was allowed to terminate his contract and leave the club.
