Georgio Crescia (Albanian: Gjergj Kresha; Spanish: Georgio Cressier; Italian: Cressiaco Albano) (fl. 1580s) was an Albanian chief and commander in service of the Duke of Parma of Spain during the Anglo-Spanish War. In September 1586, Peregrine Bertie, the 13th Baron Willoughby de Eresby, under Queen Elizabeth, commanding an English army, captured Crescia after a duel. Crescia then said in French: "I yield myself to you".
