Kadri Zahit Bistrica (1882 – 15 October 1941) was an Albanian nationalist and Vullnetari commander in Kosovo during World War II. He was one of the most notable fighters in the region Shala e Bajgorës.[1][2]

A street is named after him in Mitrovica, Kosovo,[3] and a sculpture was placed in his birth place in Bistricë in 2022.[4]
