Leskovik () is a town in Korçë County, in southeastern Albania. Historically, until 2015, it was a municipality, after which it became a municipal unit of Kolonjë. Leskovik is located from Melesin mountain. The town is located close to the Greek–Albanian border. The population as of the 2023 census is 399.
A majority of town's history was shaped by the presence of the Sufi Bektashi order. Leskovik was an important centre for the Bektashi order, and it was strongly established in the surrounding area. The Sufi Halveti order and Sa'di order of was also present in the town, while the Sufi Hayatiyya order had a Sufi lodge dating from 1796. In Leskovik, a Bektashi tekke was founded in 1887 by Abedin Baba, a town native and religious figure. The tekke housed a small number of dervishes and Abedin Baba's gravesite, later destroyed by war. Another religious building was the Pazar (Bazaar) mosque of Leskovik.
Ottoman Empire Albanian spahis and landowners from 19th century Leskovik owned estate properties (chiftlik) in parts of the Balkans and in particular the Thessalian plain, until its loss to Greece in 1881 leading to local economic decline and increasing reliance on agriculture. The Ottoman government elevated Leskovik as the administrative centre of a new short lived Sanjak of Leskovik (1882–1888) aimed at securing control of the mountainous region. Disputes over its boundaries and protests from local Christians over the choice of Leskovik, a mainly Muslim Albanian town as the district's administrative seat followed. Later the sanjak was disestablished and the kaza (subdistrict) of Leskovik was placed under the jurisdiction of the Sanjak of Ioannina.
In the late Ottoman period and on the eve of the Balkan Wars, the population of Leskovik was mostly Muslim Bektashi. A few Muslim Albanians from Leskovik were employed in the Ottoman bureaucracy as administrative officials governing some districts in parts of the empire. Late 19th century Leskovik hosted a fair, while the town gained a culinary reputation among locals and abroad for its sausages and sweet baked goods. An Ottoman secondary school (rüştiye) functioned in Leskovik. Greek education was present in Leskovik at the 1898–1899 school year with one boys' and one girls' school and a total of 100 pupils attending them.
Leskovik was finally ceded to Albania under the terms of the Protocol of Florence (17 December 1913). In the town officially joined the Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus.
During World War I in the summer of 1916 the town was occupied by Italian troops due to the pretext that the Greek forces could not resist the advance of the Bulgarian army in the Balkan front.
The Battle of Leskovik was fought in May 1943 by Albanian partisans from the Korçë area who killed 200 Italian troops and destroyed 12 armoured cars and trucks.
Local Orthodox Christians (Aromanians and others) view the Albanian Muslim Bektashi population of Leskovik as newcomers from the north. The Bektashis are often regarded by the town's Christian population as more similar to them than to other Muslims. Some Sufi Muslims from Leskovik participate in the organisation of regional Sufi festivals in the villages of Gjonç and in particular Glinë, attended by local Muslims from the town and wider area including many Christians.
Increased migration into Greece has also led to a growth of some converts to Orthodox Christianity to better integrate in their new place of residence. In 2000, some Bektashi Muslims from Leskovik who lived in Greece began restoration works on the Durbalı Sultan Tekke in Thessaly, a monument with past historical links to the town, mentioned in local ballads and songs and a place where certain town notables are buried. In 2011, the Albanian census recorded the town of Leskovik had 416 inhabitants
