The Leader of the Opposition (Albanian: Lideri/Kryetari/Shefi i opozitës) is an unofficial title traditionally held by the leader of the largest party not in government in the Parliament of Albania. The Leader is invariably seen as the alternative Prime Minister of Albania to the present incumbent, and heads a rival alternative government known as the Shadow Cabinet.

The current leader of the opposition is Sali Berisha since 2022, an office that has served again in the past, from 1991 to 1992 and from 1997 to 2005, making him the longest serving leader of the opposition in the history of Albania.
