Albanian Committee of Janina

The Albanian Committee of Janina (Albanian: Komiteti Shqiptar i Janinës, Greek: Η Αλβανική Επιτροπή Ιωαννίνων), was an Albanian organization of the 19th century with the aim of defending Albanian rights.^[1]

The Albanian Committee of Janina was formed in May 1877 in Janina then a city of the Ottoman Empire in the Vilayet of Janina, by prominent Muslim Albanian personalities of the Vilayet and central figures of the Albanian National Awakening.^[2] Abdyl Frashëri from Përmet, Abedin Dino from Preveza, Mehmet Ali Vrioni from Berat, Vesel Dino from Preveza, and other notable members of the Vilayet's Albanian community.^[1]

As no political decisions, documents or an official seal were issued, the group was not an organized committee functioning as a political organization, but a group of Tosk Albanians interested in the Albanian national movement having similar ideas about the future of Albanians.^[2]
