Bashkim Shehu (born 22 June 1955, Tirana) is an Albanian writer who lives in Barcelona, Spain.

At that time his father, Mehmet Shehu, was Albania's Prime Minister and a leading candidate to replace Enver Hoxha.

[1] The elder Shehu was found dead in December and Bashkim was sentenced to ten years in prison for distributing subversive propaganda.

He returned to his position at the Kinostudio (now "Albfilm") and remained there until 1993, when he went to Hungary to study sociology at the University of Budapest.

He and his companion, Edlira Hoxholli, also translate English, Spanish and French works into Albanian.
