The League of Prizren (Albanian: Besëlidhja e Prizrenit or Lidhja e Prizrenit), officially the League for the Defense of the Rights of the Albanian Nation (Albanian: Lidhja për mbrojtjen e të drejtave të kombit Shqiptar), was an Albanian political organization that was officially founded on June 10, 1878, in the old town of Prizren in the Kosovo Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. It was suppressed in April 1881.
The Treaties of San Stefano and Berlin assigned areas inhabited by Albanians to other states. The potential partition and fragmentation of Albanian territories in the Ottoman Empire forced Albanian leaders to organize their own defence and to consider the creation of an autonomous administration, as Serbia and the other Danubian Principalities had enjoyed before their independence.
