Albania has been represented at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since 2012. The Albanian participating broadcaster in the contest is Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH).
Its first entry was in 2012 with the song "Kam një këngë vetëm për ju" by Igzidora Gjeta, which achieved a score of thirty-five points, finishing in twelfth place out of twelve participating entries. RTSH was subsequently absent in 2013 and 2014. It returned in 2015, with "Dambaje" by Mishela Rapo, achieving ninety-three points and finishing in fifth place out of seventeen participants; this remains the country's best score to date. RTSH subsequently competed every year until 2020, when it had its first absence in six years after withdrawing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, on 18 August 2021, RTSH announced that they would return to the contest in 2021, and has participated in every contest since.
