Hakeem Ademola Okonlawan Odoffin (born 13 April 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League One club Luton Town.

Starting his senior career at his hometown club Barnet, Odoffin went on to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Eastleigh, Northampton Town, Livingston, Hamilton Academical and Rotherham United before joining Luton in 2025.

Hakeem Ademola Okonlawan Odoffin was born on 13 April 1998 in the London Borough of Barnet, England to parents of Nigerian descent.

As a child, he spent time at the Tottenham Hotspur academy, before joining Reading in 2012. He was released after two years at the club.

Odoffin joined Barnet on a two-year scholarship in 2014. He made his debut for the club in a Herts Senior Cup match against St. Margaretsbury on 26 November 2014.

The following season he made his professional debut for Barnet on 5 December 2015, starting in an FA Cup second round tie at home to Newport County. Odoffin made two senior appearances for the Bees.

Odoffin joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 2016 for an undisclosed fee. He joined Eastleigh on loan in December 2016 where he was sent off on his debut against Southport. He went on to make 21 appearances for Eastleigh.

He was released by Wolves at the end of the 2017–18 season.

Odoffin joined Northampton Town on a two-year deal in July 2018, however left the club the following January due to limited first-team opportunities. He started 10 times for the club.

On 30 January 2019, Odoffin signed for Scottish Premiership club Livingston. He left the club at the end of the following season, having made 20 appearances for the club.

On 31 July 2020, Odoffin moved to fellow Scottish Premiership side Hamilton Academical for an undisclosed fee, signing a one-year contract. He was used in both defence and midfield by manager Brian Rice, and reportedly had made more interceptions than any other under-23 player in Europe. In March 2021, he signed a one-year contract extension with Hamilton.

In August 2021, Odoffin returned to England - signing a three-year deal with EFL League One club Rotherham United. He made his debut in the first game of the 2021–22 season against Plymouth Argyle on 7 August 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute.

In the 2024–25 season, Odoffin often captained the side in the absence of Jonson Clarke-Harris.

On 19 May 2025, Rotherham United announced that Odoffin had left the club after rejecting a new deal. He made 139 appearances in his 4 years at the club.

On 10 July 2025, he joined Luton Town as a free agent. After the club discovered a non-musculoskeletal issue during his medical, he was not available for selection until he made his debut as a substitute on 25 October 2025 against former club Northampton Town.

Odoffin played in the 2026 EFL Trophy final, in which Luton beat Stockport County 3–1 to win the competition.
