The history of political and military relations of Albanians and Egypt dates back to the Roman Times in ancient history. Relations became closer in Ottoman times when the Ottoman Empire took over Egypt in the early 16th century. Ottoman Albanians gave their contribution to the Ottoman conquest of Egypt, and many governors of this Ottoman province were Albanian.

Relations between Albania and Egypt intensified in early modern times, when Muhammad Ali of Egypt (Albanian: Mehmet Ali Pasha) became governor, and self-declared viceroy of Egypt and Sudan with the Ottomans temporary approval.
