Ilo Mitkë Qafzezi (November 5, 1889 – April 16, 1964) was an Albanian prolific scholar and writer of historical and religious subjects.

Ilo Mitkë Qafzezi was born in 1889 in Korçë, Albania (then Ottoman Empire), to a family of mixed Albanian–Aromanian origins.

[2] An autodidact, Qafzezi was very prolific in his publications in several literary and historical periodicals and bulletins.

He also published important historical works on Moscopole, Berat and Vithkuq, and he discovered manuscripts of Theodore Kavalliotis's work, as well as a copy of the first edition of the Εισαγωγική Διδασκαλία ("Introductory instruction") of Daniel Moscopolites, published in Venice in 1794.

Qafëzezi translated into Albanian the Alipashiad, a poem on Ali Pasha of Tepelena, written originally in Greek, by Haxhi Shehreti.
