The '''Movement for National Development''' ({{langx|sq|Lëvizja për Zhvillim Kombëtar}}, '''LZHK''') is a centre-right political party in Albania.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lzhk.al/programi.html|title=LZHK program|website=LZHK official website}}</ref> The Movement for National Development was founded in 2004 as a five party coalition under the spiritual leadership of Leka I Zogu, King of the Albanians. The Movement for National Development entered the 2005 elections and won 47,967 votes, the result failed to achieve the required 4% for a coalition to enter parliament, falling short with 3,5% of the vote.

In October 2005 Dashamir Shehi registered the movement as a political party, and has since maintained an alliance with the Democratic Party.

In the 27th Legislature of Albania, LZHK held 1 from 140 seats in the Albanian parliament, which is the acting leader Dashamir Shehi. The party returned to parliament after the 2021 Albanian parliamentary election, winning 1 seat, contesting on the list of the Democratic Party.
