Gjergj Thopia (Albanian: Gjergj Topia); fl. 1388 – d. 1392) was Prince of Albania and the Lord of Durrës from 1388 to 1392. He was the son of Karl Topia and Voisava Balsha. Gjergj married Teodora, the daughter of sevastokrator Branko Mladenović. During their reign, they were documented as possessing a crown decorated with pearls and precious stones and a golden crown, and four pairs of pearl earrings.
Gjergj was required to return Durrës to the Republic of Venice in 1392. Later that year, he died without issue. His sister, Helena Thopia, gained the bulk of the rest of his holdings, whilst a smaller portion was left to his younger sister, Voisava Thopia. He had two further half-siblings from his father's affairs, Niketa Thopia, who eventually attacked and forcefully took control of Krujë, as well as, Maria Thopia, who became Baroness of Botrugno in Italy and granted refuge to Helena and her son Stefan Maramonte.
