Dëllënjë is a village in Albania, part of the former Novoselë municipality, in the Vlorë County. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Vlorë.[1] It is located 31km away from Vlorë city (north direction) and 4km away from the Adriatic seashore. It is the last village along the Vjosë river.
The name Dëllënjë has Albanian origins and derived from Dëllinjë ("juniper"). Naming after the local flora is a common phenomenon amongst the Myzeqar Albanians.[2] Before the village was founded the area was known as "The Juniper Forest".[3]
