Koplik (also known as Koplik i Poshtëm) is a city and urban municipality, serving as the capital of the Malësi e Madhe district in the northwestern tip of Albania. It is situated north of the city of Shkodër.

Koplik, being a border town has a long history of warfare. The historical importance of Koplik owes much to the Malsori Tribesmen of Malsia e Madhe of which it is the capital. Their fierce independent nature insured that Koplik was often embroiled in wars against the Ottomans and the Serbs though much of its history. In the town itself there is a monument commemorating the Battle of Koplik, also known as the Battle of Deciq on account of being fought both in Koplik and Tuzi. The battle was as a result of a rebellion of Malsori Tribesmen Led by Ded Gjon Luli of the Traboin-Hoti Tribe against ottoman imperial authority. The battle was a costly victory for the Malsori tribesman. After the first world war and the partition of Malsia e Madhe into tow component parts, the area surrounding Tuzi was given to the Kingdom of Montenegro whilst the area around Koplik remained Albanian with Koplik being created the regional capital of Malsia e Madhe. During the Ottoman occupation many of the inhabitants of the town converted to Islam, although the rural population in Malësia e Madhe continued to be mainly Catholic. The communist regime put heavy restrictions on mobility but after the fall of communism in 1991, Koplik experienced a great influx of new settlers from the countryside.^{[citation needed]}
