The Këlcyrë Gorge (Template:Lang-sq) is a gorge in southern Albania created by the river Vjosë, near the town of Këlcyrë.

The gorge became famous during the Capture of Klisura Pass battle during the Greco-Italian War in World War II.[1] A Greek military cemetery for the fallen Greek soldiers is located within the pass.[2]
