Bajo Topulli (1868–1930) was an Albanian freedom fighter. While he was a director in the Ottoman Secondary school in Monastir[1] he founded in 1905 the "Committee for the liberation of Albania" in Korçë and led the first Albanian army against the Turkish Ottoman Empire after Skanderbeg's army and the League of Prizren's army.[2] Bajo Topulli was the older brother of Çerçiz Topulli.
