The Culture of Kosovo refers to the culture of Kosovo. It encompasses the ancient heritage, architecture, literature, visual arts, music, cinema, sports and cuisine of Kosovo. Because of its history and geography, it represents a blend of different cultural spheres especially of the western and eastern culture.

The society of Kosovo has undergone considerable changes over the last centuries, one of the most notable being the increasing level of secularity. The national identity revolves more around the language and culture, than the religion.

Due to Albanians making up the majority of Kosovo's population, the culture tends to be Albanian with slight variations.

According to a survey carried out in 2005 by the Kosovo Statistics Office. The total population of Kosovo is between 1.9 to 2.2 million inhabitants with the following ethnic composition: Albanians 92%, Serbs 4%, Bosnians and Galanios 2%, Turks 1%, Rome 1%. The CIA World Factbook estimates the following percentages: 88% Albanians, 8% Serbs of Kosovo and 4% of other ethnic groups. According to the most recent CIA The World Factbook in July 2009, the population of Kosovo is 1,804,838 inhabitants. With an ethnic composition of "Albanians 88%, Serbs 7%, another 5%(Bosnios, Gorani, Rome, Turk, Ashkali, Egyptians, Janjevci - Croatas)".
