Northern Albania is in red.

Northern Albania (Albanian: Shqipëria Veriore) is one of the three NUTS-2 Regions of Albania.^[2] This ethnographical territory is sometimes referred to as Ghegeria (Albanian: Gegëria) which also includes parts of the Albanian-inhabited territories of Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia.^[3]

It consists of the counties of Dibër, Durrës, Kukës, Lezhë and Shkodër.^[4] The term usually denotes to the northern half of the country inhabited by the Ghegs, who predominantly live in the mountainous north of the Shkumbin river.^[5] However the area inhabited by Gheg Albanians is not always identical to the area often referred to as Northern Albania, as the Gheg inhabited regions of Durrës, Tirana, Elbasan, Kavajë, Bulqizë, and occasionally Krujë, Mat, and Dibër, are often excluded from Northern Albania and instead included in Central Albania.^{[citation needed]}
