Maliq Bushati (8 February 1890 – 20 February 1946) was an Albanian politician who served as the 18th prime minister of Albania from February 1943 to May 1943 as an Axis collaborator. Following the Italian invasion of Albania in 1939, Bushati served as Interior Minister from 1939 to 1941 under the government of Shefqt Vërlaci. Along with two other Axis Collaborators Lef Nosi and father Anton Harapi, he was sentenced to death by communist Albania.[1][2]
