Albesa is a municipality in the comarca of Noguera, in the province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain.
In 1003 it was the seat of the battle of Albesa. The economy is mostly based on agriculture (fruit, potato, tomato), taking advantage of the presence of an acequia. Sights include the parish church of St. Mary (18th century), with a 14th century retablo, and the remains of the ancient castle (conquered by the Christians in 1098) and of several ancient Roman villas.
