Albanians in Hungary (; ) are ethnic Albanians living in Hungary.
History One of the earliest recorded Albanians in Hungary was Antonius in the 14th century, the bishop of Shkodër, who had previously served as a vicar in Bács in the Kingdom of Hungary. He later became bishop of Shkodër in 1367.
After the Great Turkish War, where they had sided with the Austrians, a group of Albanians from Kosovo, Catholic and Muslim, moved to Hungary. They numbered around 10,000 people. Toma Raspasani, a Catholic clergyman, reported in his writings in 1693 that many Catholics had settled Budapest, and most died of hunger or disease.
