Armenians in Albania are ethnic Armenians living in Albania. Most of the Armenians living in Albania have been there since the Soviet Union era. During the Albanian communist era, only people from the USSR were allowed to enter the country ruled by Enver Hoxha's communist regime. Other people were allowed from China, a country with a similar regime. Most of the people with origin from USSR were actually Russians, Ukrainians and Armenians, the latter having settled in the country as a result of the Union's penetration in the Warsaw pact countries.

Most of the Armenians having come to Albania that period were soldiers serving the communist regime, or their families, having followed them. The population rate of Armenians in Albania was then estimated to 500-700 people. The cities with concentrated Armenian population were Tirana, Durrës and Vlora. Today, the Armenian population in Albania is estimated up to 750 people, according to many sources, such as the country's internal service, but all the information is associated with estimations and not gathered data. (See: Armenian diaspora).

Armenian people or Armenians (Armenian: հայեր, Armenian pronunciation: [hɑˈjɛɾ]) are a nation and ethnic group native to the Armenian Highland.

The largest concentration is in Armenia, having a nearly homogeneous population with 97.9% or 3,145,354 being ethnic Armenian. Because of wide-ranging and long-lasting diaspora, an estimated total of 3 million people of full or partial Armenian ancestry live outside of Armenia. As a result of the Armenian Genocide, a large number of survivors fled to many countries throughout the world, most notably the Russian Empire, the Near East, the United States, France, Iran, Georgia and other parts of Europe (see Armenian diaspora).

Christianity began to spread in Armenia soon after Jesus's death, due to the efforts of two of his apostles, St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew In the early 4th century, the Kingdom of Armenia became the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion. Most Armenians adhere to the Armenian Apostolic Church, a non-Chalcedonian church, which is also the world's oldest national church.
