Kurvelesh is a region in southern Albania, within the Southern Mountain Range. In the region, which is divided into the communes of Brataj, Horë-Vranisht, Kurvelesh and Picar, fifteen villages are located. It is considered to be the heart of the larger Laberia region.
The Kurvelesh region is inhabited by [[] [[Lab Albanians]]. Traditionally neighbourhoods of local villages in the region had [[Tower houses in the Balkans|houses built as fortresses]] lacking windows on the ground floor while the [[Gjakmarrja|blood feud]] used to be a common feature of the area. The people of Kurvelesh practised [[endogamy]] by intermarrying within the villages of the region.
