Tulipa albanica is a flowering plant in the tulip genus, family Liliaceae that is native to Albania.[1][2][3] It was discovered near the Surroj Municipality in Albania in 2010.[4]
Related species include Tulipa scardica and Tulipa schrenkii. T. Albanica bears morphological similarities to both species, as well as growing in a similar environment, but can be distinguished genetically as well as by T. albanica's undulating leaf shape.[5]
