George Thopia

George Thopia (Albanian: Gjergj Topia, Italian: Giorgio Topia; fl. 1388 – d. 1392) was the Lord of Durazzo (Durrës) from 1388 to 1392. He was the son of Karl Topia and Voisava Balsha. Gjergj married Teodora, the daughter of sevastokrator Branko Mladenović, of the Serbian Branković family.

Gjergj was required to return Durrës to the Republic of Venice in 1392. Later that year, he died without issue. His sister, Helena Thopia, gained the bulk of the rest of his holdings, whilst a smaller portion was left to his younger sister, Vojsava.
