The Zhapokikë Uprising (Albanian: Kryengritja e Zhapokikës) was an anti-Communist uprising in southern Albania that occurred between September 28-October 8, 1948. The uprising had the objective of removing the Marxist–Leninist regime of Enver Hoxha with the desire to implement a nationalist democratic government. Ultimately the uprising was stifled by the regime.
