Aleksandar Stipčević (10 October 1930[1] – 1 September 2015) was an Arbanas Croatian archeologist, bibliographer, librarian and historian of Albanian origin[1] who specialized in the study of the Illyrians.
He was born in the village of Arbanasi near Zadar, Croatia (then Zara, Kingdom of Italy),[1] a member of the local Arbanasi community. From 1970 to 1973, in the capacity of a senior lecturer, as an external collaborator, he taught 'Introduction to Archaeology' at the Faculty of Philosophy in Pristina.[2] He was a full professor at the University of Zagreb from 1987 until his retirement in 1997.[1] He was a member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo.[3]
His 1974 book Iliri ("The Illyrians") has been translated into English, Italian and Albanian. He was awarded the Order of Skanderbeg by Albania.[1]
