Derviçan (Albanian definite form: Derviçani; Greek: Δερβιτσάνη, romanized: Dervitsani, also known as Derviçian) is a settlement in the former Dropull i Poshtëm municipality, Gjirokastër County, southern Albania.
[3] Derviçan is recorded in a document of 1084 during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos.
[6] In 1991, the political organization Omonoia was founded in Derviçan, by representatives of the Greek national minority.
[8] In 2023, the Albanian prime minister Edi Rama unveiled the statue of Konstantinos Mitsotakis, the first Greek prime minister who visited Albania after the fall of communism, as a symbol of coexistence and unity between Albanians and Greeks.
[10] In the 1520 Ottoman tax register, the Albanian anthroponyms Gjon and Gjin as well as others are found in the village of Derviçan, which appears in the same register with a fairly large population for the time, with a large influence by Greek culture.
