Slavery in Albania refer to the history of slavery in the area that was later to form the nation of Albania.

In Ancient Albania, the institution of slavery in the area was a part of the history of slavery in the Roman Empire. During the early middle ages, Albania was subjected to the laws of the Byzantine Empire, were slavery died out from the 10th century.

During the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans, Albania became a religious and political border zone between Christian Europe and the Islamic Ottoman Empire, and as a consequence the Albanians was termed as infidels kafir of Dar al-Harb and vulnerable to Ottoman slave raids and slave trading. During the Ottoman era, slavery was legal in accordance to Islamic law. As a non-Muslim province, Albania was also subjected to the blood tax of tributary slaves to the Ottoman Empire.

Albania also participated actively in the Ottoman slave trade via the Albanian piracy in the Adriatic Sea, were Albanian pirates captured non-Christian ships and enslaved the crew and passengers who were enslaved in Albania and the rest of the Ottoman Empire until the 19th century. The Ottoman era in Albania ended in 1914, after which Ottoman law was no longer applicable.
