Kukës County (Albanian: Qarku i Kukësit) is a landlocked county in northeastern Albania, with the capital in Kukës.

Kukës is one of 12 counties of Albania, located in the north and northeast of the Northern Region. The county area is 2,374 km2 (917 sq mi) and the seventh-largest county by area in Albania and the third-largest in the Northern Region, behind Shkodër County and Dibër County. It is limited to the counties of Shkodër County in the west, Dibër County in the south, Lezhë County in the southeast, the countries of Kosovo in the east and northeast and Montenegro in the north and northwest. The county lies between latitudes 42° N, and longitudes 20° E. Its northernmost point is Çerem point at 42° 29' 52" northern latitude; the southernmost is Kalis point at 41° 50' 0" northern latitude; the westernmost point is Rrogam at 19° 50' 24" eastern longitude; and the easternmost point is Shishtavec at 20° 36' 0" eastern longitude.

It is divided into three municipalities: Has, Kukës and Tropojë.

The municipalities are further subdivided into 290 towns and villages in total.

The terrain of the county consists of small plains and high mountains. Elevations here range between 250 m (0.16 mi) and 2,200 m (1.4 mi).[8] The Albanian Alps are a high mountain range running through Tropojë across the northwest of the county. The northeast contains high and steep peaks including Gjallica, Koritnik and Pashtrik. Between these mountains are mostly narrow valleys, canyons and ravines. From the southeast, the county is crossed by the Sharr and Korab Mountains.

Hydrologically, the county lies almost entirely within the basin of the Drin and its tributaries. The river flows into the Adriatic Sea after crossing the county territory from the confluence of Black Drin and White Drin. On their way, its basin and zone of influence naturally correspond to the areas destined for agricultural use. Lake Fierza and Koman lies in the county and are fed and drained by rivers Black Drin and White Drin. Other notable rivers include Gashi and Valbona.
