The Tekke of Frashër (Albanian: Teqeja e Frashërit), also known as the Nasibî Tâhir Baba Tekke, is a Bektashi shrine and Albanian Bektashi tekke, located in Frashër, Gjirokastër County in southern Albania. The tekke was founded in 1781 and was designated as a Cultural Monument of Albania.
The tekke was crucial to the Albanian National Awakening, particularly in the nationalist movements of the late 19th century, and it was one of the wealthiest and revered tekkes in Albania.
