Piqeras (Albanian definite form: Piqerasi) is a village in the former municipality of Lukovë, Vlorë County, southern Albania.

[citation needed] During the Ottoman period, Piqeras, together with nearby Lukovë and Nivicë, was a part of the Himara area and enjoyed special semi-autonomous status inside this community.

[4][5] In 1743-44, Piqeras which was Christian at the time was attacked by villagers of Borsh with assistance from Fterrë and Çorraj, most of which had converted to Islam about 50 years earlier.

Between 1744-1748, they first fled to Venetian Corfu and then reached a deal which allowed them to settle in part of Rosciano which became known as Villa Badessa (Albanian: Badhesa).

[6] In 1798 the village became the target of an attack by the forces of Ali Pasha who managed to control the southern part of Himara.
