ISO 3166-2:AL is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Albania (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is AL).
Currently two levels of subdivisions are assigned codes:
- 12 counties — Each code is a number (1–12, in Albanian alphabetical order, except for Dibër, whose former name was Peshkopi).
- 36 districts — Each code starts with AL-, followed by two letters.

Current codes
Codes and subdivision names are listed as in the official standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA). Click on the button in the header to sort each column.
Counties
These codes are defined in the official standard without the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country as prefix, and thus do not guarantee uniqueness in a global context by themselves. They can be completed by adding AL-.
