Elva Margariti (born 14 June 1980) is an Albanian state official, architect and urban planner.

She completed her undergraduate studies in architecture at the University of Florence, Italy in the field of design, requalification and revitalization of built spaces and bio-architecture.

In 2008, Mrs. Margariti was licensed under the Order of the Architect in Florence, where she practiced for several years in the field of architecture and urban planning.

[citation needed] Margariti was appointed Minister of Culture on 17 January 2019, following a wave of changes within the cabinet of Edi Rama as a result of the student protests the previous month.

What started as a simple complaint to remove the standard fee on overdue exams, escalated with demands for increasing the budget on education and improving living conditions in the student dormitories.
