Anderson Esiti (born 24 May 1994) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Hungarian NB I club Ferencváros and the Nigeria national team.

Born on 24 May 1994, in Warri, Nigeria Esiti took his first steps in Football Academy Bobbies United. In 2012 he made his trip to Europe to join Leixões. After a few games with the second-string team, the Nigerian midfielder was promoted to the senior side of the club, and played 45 matches. His overall performance caught the eye of José Mário Branco, technical director of Estoril at the time and they signed him. He fit right at in his new team. He remained there for two seasons, featuring in 57 appearances. He established himself as one of the leading midfielders in the league and attracted interest from various clubs around Europe. Eventually he signed with Gent making a total of 95 appearances in all competitions.

On 25 July 2019, PAOK have confirmed the arrival of Anderson Esiti, signing a four-year contract with the Nigerian midfielder. The reigning Greek champions paid Gent €3.5 million in order to sign Esiti. The Nigerian international, who plays as a defensive midfielder, will fill the gap for PAOK in that position with the vital UEFA Champions League ties against Ajax fast approaching, as the midfielders Jose Canas and Yevhen Shakhov, key members of the PAOK squad which claimed the Greek double, had already left the club this summer. In the 2018–19 season, Esiti made 30 appearances for Gent across all competitions.

On his first match with PAOK after his return from the loan to Göztepe, in a friendly match against Volos, Esiti scored his first goal for PAOK.

On 12 February 2022, PAOK’s agreement with Hungarian club Ferencváros to transfer Nigerian central midfielder Anderson Esiti is finalized. PAOK simply retaining a percentage in their rights in the event of a resale. The Nigerian midfielder failed to impress coach Razvan Lucescu despite the opportunities presented to him.The truth is that the interest of the Magyars, which has existed for several days, was a way out for the people of PAOK who wanted to be released from the Esiti treaty.
