The Zenevisi (Albanian: Zenebishi) (fl. 1304–1460), were an Albanian noble family. They governed territories in Epirus and were centred in Gjirokastër.

Gjon Zenebishi was one of the most notable members of this family. Between 1373 and 1414, he controlled Gjirokastër and its surroundings. After the Ottomans captured the region of Epirus, some members of the family fled to Morea, while other members held high positions within the Ottoman hierarchy.
