Lezhë County, Administrative division in northern Albania

Lezhë County encompasses 1,620 square kilometers of territory between the Adriatic Sea coast and inland mountains, containing three municipalities: Kurbin, Lezhë, and Mirditë.

The county evolved from its establishment as one of Albania's 12 administrative regions in 2000, replacing the previous system of 36 districts that governed the area.

The population of 99,384 residents maintains strong Catholic traditions, with 72 percent following Catholicism while preserving Albanian customs through local festivals and gatherings.

The county maintains transportation connections through the SH1 highway and railway line, linking the administrative center of Lezhë with other major Albanian cities.

The territory includes the Shëngjin Harbor, one of Albania's three largest ports, where the Mat and Drin rivers meet the Adriatic Sea.
