Ali Elkhattabi (Arabic: علي الخطّابي; born 17 January 1977) is a former professional footballer. Born in the Netherlands, Elkhattabi gained 10 caps for Morocco, making his debut in 1997.

Elkhattabi began his professional career in the 1995–96 season with Sparta Rotterdam.^[1] After one season, he moved to Heerenveen. He proved to be an efficient goalscorer in his first matches at the club, spawning interest from several top clubs in the Netherlands.^[2] Three years later, Elkhattabi would, however, return to Sparta, where he scored 36 goals in 75 matches, striking up a partnership in attack with Bram Marbus.^[3] His final season – 2000–01 – proved his most successful, finishing second in the Eredivisie Golden Boot with 21 goals in 33 appearances, only behind Mateja Kežman.^[4] He was then signed by AZ. He stayed there for four years, before joining RBC Roosendaal on loan in 2005 after being rumored to Braga, Stoke City and Leeds United.^[5][6] Elkhattabi retired in September 2006, as he was not able to find a new club after his loan with RBC had expired.^[1]

Elkhattabi has a fear of flying, a condition which severely limited his ability to play in away matches in European competitions and to travel with the national team.^[2]

His international debut came against Togo in November 1997, and he was included in Morocco's 1998 World Cup squad.^[7]

Elkhattabi has worked as a real estate agent since his retirement from football.^[2] He has since also worked as a players' agent.^[3]
