Erion Hoxhallari (born 15 October 1995 in Korçë) is an Albanian footballer who plays as a defender for Tirana in the Albanian Superliga.
Hoxhallari started his youth career at KF Tirana. On 1 July 2011 he was loaned out at Austrian side Grazer AK for a half season.
Hoxhallari made his professional debut for Tirana on 23 November 2011 in the cup tie against Apolonia Fier, playing full-90 minutes in a 3–0 home win. That was his first and only appearance of the 2011–12 season. Hoxhallari found more opportunities in the 2012–13 season, making his league debut on 13 April 2013 in a 2–1 deficit at Kukësi. In the 2013–14 season, Hoxhallari continued to get limited opportunities, as he made only nine league appearances, eight of them as starter.
On 29 August 2014, Hoxhallari was transferred to Teuta Durrës on a long season loan from Tirana along with Ardit Peposhi. Initially Hoxhallari struggeled to play as he did not leave the bench for the first four league matches. On 1 October, he made his debut by scoring the team's first goal of the 2–0 away win against Besëlidhja Lezhë in the first leg of 2014–15 Albanian Cup first round. Four days later Hoxhallari made his league debut in a 1–0 away defeat to Kukësi, playing full-90 minutes. Following the debut, Hoxhallari established himself in the starting lineup, and went to play another 25 league matches until the end of the season as Teuta Durrës barely avoided the relegation to Albanian First Division.
On 1 June 2015, he returned in training with Tirana after the end of loan. He made his first appearance of the season on 29 August in team's second league match of the season against Laçi, where he entered in the pitch on the last 15 minutes as Tirana found the equalizer in the very last moments. With Shkëlqim Muça in charge, Hoxhallari was used mostly as a substitute, and during his tenure at the club, Hoxhallari played only one league match as a starter, the 2–0 home win against his previous side Teuta Durrës on 26 September. With the arrival of the new coach Ilir Daja, Hoxhallari become an undisputed starter and went to play as a started in every league game until the end of the season, as Tirana remained out of European competitions for the fourth straight season. He was praised for his performances on the back and on 31 May was named one of the talents of the year.
