Sarandë (Albanian: Saranda or Sarandë, IPA or ; Italian: Santi Quaranta, 'Forty Saints'); Greek: Άγιοι Σαράντα or Ágii Saránda ), is the capital of the District of Sarandë, Albania, and it is one of the most important tourist attractions of the Albanian Riviera. It was named after the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste traditionally commemorated by the Greek Orthodox Church on 10 March, during Byzantine times. Situated on an open sea gulf of the Ionian at 39.88°N, 20.00°E, it has a population of about 15,000. Part of its original Albanian and Greek population moved to Greece during the large exodus in the early 90's. Opposite Sarandë is another tourist attraction, the Greek island of Corfu. There are daily ferries between them.

Near Sarandë are the remains of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
