The Llogora National Park (Albanian: Parku Kombëtar i Llogarasë or Llogorasë) is a national park in Vlorë County, Albania. It was declared since 1966 as a protected area by the Albanian Government.
The park covers an area of 1,010 hectares (2,500 acres) and protects the forests on the north side of the Llogara Pass between a height from 470 to 2,018 m (1,542 to 6,621 ft) above sea level. In the park can be found many black pine (Pinus nigra) trees, Bosnian pines (Pinus heldreichii), Bulgarian fir, (Abies borisii-sign) and ash trees (Fraxinus). Llogara had a history of being a vacationing area for Albanians during communism.
Air currents that flow through the area have caused trees to bend in many interesting shapes, like the Pisha e Flamurit.
Most known hotels are Llogora Tourist Village, Hotel Sofo and Hotel Alpin.
