Gjergj Qiriazi (1868 — 1912) was an Albanian publisher and writer. He was born in Bitola, Ottoman Empire (now Republic of Macedonia), where he attended the local school. Like his brother Gjerasim, he studied at the American College in Samokov, Bulgaria. He worked for the British and Foreign Bible Society and took over the direction of the first Albanian girls' school in Korçë upon the death of his brother. In 1908, he was a delegate at the Congress of Monastir.
Gjergj Qiriazi was one of the founders of the Albanian printing press Bashkimi i Kombit. He published two volumes of literature, namely Hristomathi a udhëheqës për ç'do shtëpi shqiptari (Sofia, 1902) and a collection of religious verse Kënkë të shenjtëruara (Sofia, 1906).
