Gjoricë (IPA: [ɟɔɾit͡s]) is a former municipality in the Dibër County, eastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision of the municipality Bulqizë. The population at the 2011 census was 4,214.

In 1900, Vasil Kanchov traveled throughout the region and reported on who lived there, finding that the towns of what is now the Gjoricë municipality included Gjoricë (Bulgarian: Горица Gorica) with 900 Albanian Muslims, Viçisht with 130 Albanian Muslims and Lubalesh with 160 Albanian Muslims.
