Gjergj Thopia (Albanian: Gjergj Topia, Italian: Giorgio Topia; fl. 1388 – d. 1392) was the Lord of Durrës from 1388 to 1392. He was the son of Karl Topia and Voisava Balsha.[2][3] Gjergj married Teodora, the daughter of sevastokrator Branko Mladenović.[4]
Gjergj was required to return Durrës to the Republic of Venice in 1392.[5] Later that year, he died without issue.[6][7] His sister, Helena Thopia, gained the bulk of the rest of his holdings, whilst a smaller portion was left to his younger sister, Vojsava.[citation needed]
