The Royal Border Guard (Albanian: Roja Mbretërore e Kufirit) existed from 1928 to 1939 as part of the Royal Albanian Army.

The force consisted of five battalions (commanders listed as of April 7, 1939):

The Border Guard had a statutory strength of 91 officers, 222 NCOs and around 1,500 men, in 14 companies of 48 platoons subdivided into 119 squads, and probably had more or less that strength on the eve of the invasion. The Guard was more of a fiscal or customs police than a military arm, and was incorporated into the Italian Guardia di Finanza after the invasion.
