The County of Durrës (Albanian: Qarku i Durrësit; pronounced) is one of the constituent counties in the northwest of Albania. It borders the counties of Dibër, Lezhë, Tirana and the Adriatic Sea. The county has geographically a coastline on the Albanian Adriatic Sea Coast and extends in the Western Lowlands on a flat alluvial and coastal plain. The east is characterised by the Skanderbeg Mountains which splits the Western Lowlands from the Central Mountain Range.
