Banja (Albanian: Banjë;Serbian: Бања) is a village in municipality of Malisheva in Republic of Kosovo. The village has an area of 1305 ha. The village is named after a local spring with warm water that has healing properties. The toponym comes from Proto-Slavic *baňa, an old borrowing from Vulgar Latin *bāneum, from Latin balneum. (lit. spa).

It was first mentioned in 1348, in Holy Archangel charter of emperor Stephen Uroš IV Dušan of Serbia. Above the village there were two churches, which villagers called Kiša and Other Kiša. "Kisha" in the Albanian language literally translates to Church.

In April 2020, 20 residents of the town were in isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[2]
