Çermenikë or Çermenika is an upland northeast of Elbasan, in central Albania.

In the Middle Ages, as Tzernikon or Tzernikos (Greek: Τζερνικός/Τζερνικόν), it was an episcopal see of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, as a suffragan see of the Archbishopric of Dyrrhachium.

In the mid-15th century, the region was ruled by George Arianiti, one of the main leaders of the Albanian resistance to the Ottoman Empire.

In World War II, the area was a centre of the Albanian Resistance to the German occupation.
