The Mitrovica Government () was the 34th ruling government of Albania, in office from 5 November 1943 to 16 June 1944, during the period of German occupation of Albania in World War II. It was headed by Rexhep Mitrovica, a nationalist politician and intellectual from Kosovo.https://shtetiweb.org/2012/08/24/qeverite-e-shtetit-shqiptar/
The government was formed following the collapse of Italian control in Albania and operated under German military presence. While formally independent, its authority was limited by wartime conditions and the influence of occupying forces. The Mitrovica Government sought to maintain internal order, oppose communist resistance, and preserve Albanian territorial integrity, particularly regarding Kosovo, which had been incorporated into Albania during the war.
Political instability, increasing partisan activity, and internal disagreements weakened the cabinet. Rexhep Mitrovica resigned in June 1944 due to health issues and political pressure, leading to the formation of a successor government under Fiqiri Dine and later Ibrahim Biçakçiu.
