Aziz (Pasha) Vrioni (1859-1919) was an Ottoman-Albanian politician of the early 20th century. He was, among other, member of the Ottoman Parliament, and Albanian Minister of Finance and Minister of Agriculture and of Mines.
He was born in Berat, Ottoman Empire, member of the influential and well-known Vrioni family. Aziz Pasha Vrioni got involved in the Albanian preparations in the eve of the Albanian Declaration of Independence in 1912. He carried over various ministries of the Albanian governments after.
On 14 October 1913, he joined the government of Essad Pasha Toptani in Durres and was elected General Director of the Administration. During the turmoils of 1913-1914 he organized his men into local militia, fighting against the Islamic Peasant Rebels and Greek insurgents. After failing to defend Lushnja, he was shortly arrested by the government of Turhan Pasha Përmeti, accusing him of conspiracy a collaboration with the rebels.
