Zhaneta Byberi (Albanian: Xhaneta Byberi, born October 01, 1995) is an Albanian model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Universe Albania 2014 and represented Albania at the Miss Universe 2014.

Zhaneta Byberi, daughter of Petrit Byberi and Aishe Kurmekaj, was born in Bajram Curri, Tropoja, Albania. Zhaneta was forced to leave Albania at the age of 4, due to numerous conflicts and random family labelings as 'dangerous' and 'anti-nationalistic', thus her family members being politically pursued and repressed would lead to the result of being sent to camps risking the life of her parents and her very self with the continuation of living in Albania at that period. It was not until in 1997 that the government collapsed which caused disorder and rebellion throughout the country. The government attempted to suppress the rebellion by military force but the attempt failed, due to long-term corruption of the armed forces.

Zhaneta left the country with her mother (her father would follow a few months later), proceeding to Belgium where they would both seek political asylum and thus permission to reside in the country. After 4 years of settlement in Leuven, Belgium, they continued their route towards South Yorkshire, England (after having settled for some time in other locations such as Amsterdam, Holland and Paris, France) where they settled for over 6 years, after a certain amount of years consisting of frequent movement to various locations.
