Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Albania are protected under a comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation. Both male and female same-gender sexual activities are legal in Albania, but households headed by same-gender couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-gender couples.
Albania, as a whole, is considered to be rather conservative, especially in public reactions regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) rights and visibility of LGBT people; however, recent anti-discrimination legislation have made ILGA-Europe regard Albania as one of a very few countries in Europe which explicitly bans discrimination on the grounds of gender identity. Albania has ratified Protocol No. 12 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, moreover Albania was a signatory to the 2007 UN Declaration on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.

Albania, en su conjunto, se considera que es más bien conservador, especialmente en las reacciones del público con respecto a lesbianas, gays, bisexuales, transgénero (LGBT) y la visibilidad de las personas LGBT, sin embargo, la reciente legislación contra la discriminación han hecho de ILGA-Europa sobre Albania uno de los muy pocos países en Europa que prohíbe explícitamente la discriminación por motivos de identidad de género. Albania ha ratificado el Protocolo N º 12 al Convenio para la Protección de los Derechos Humanos y las Libertades Fundamentales, además de Albania es signataria de la Declaración de 2007 de las Naciones Unidas sobre Orientación Sexual e Identidad de Género.
