Llazar Siliqi (1924–2001) was a notable Albanian poet. His poetic profile was influenced by the work of Mayakovsky.
Siliqi was born in Shkodër, the son of the Albanian poet and nationalist figure Risto Siliqi. He was an active participant of the Albanian resistance during World War II, was arrested and interned in the Nazi concentration camp in Pristina, today's Kosovo.
Siliqi was the librettist of the first Albanian opera, Mrika, composed by Prenkë Jakova, as well as Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu (Scanderbeg) of 1969, an epic-heroic work written to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Scanderbeg, Albania's national hero, with music from Jakova as well.
Siliqi is also known for the epic-narrative poem Prishtina (Pristina) of 1949, dedicated to the Pristina Nazi concentration camp during World War II, and for the screenplay of the movie Komisari i Dritës (Commissar of Light) of 1966.
A long time member of the Albanian League of Writers and Artists, he participated in the Orthography Congress of 1972 where the orthographic rules of the Albanian language were standardized, and was one of the signatories.
