Zaporizhzhia Governorate (Ukrainian: Запорізька губернія, romanized: Zaporizka huberniia) was a territorial division or gubernia of the Ukrainian SSR (Ukraine) that was created in April 1920. The new governorate was temporarily established in place of the Tavria Okruha.

Soon after the Ukrainian SSR joined the Soviet Union, the governorate was merged into the Yekaterinoslav Governorate.
