Augustów Governorate ^[a] was an administrative-territorial unit ( guberniya) of Congress Poland of the Russian Empire.

It was created in 1837 from the Augustów Voivodship, and had the same borders and capital ( Suwałki) as the voivodship. In 1867 territories of the Augustów Governorate and the Płock Governorate were divided into a smaller Płock Governorate, Suwałki Governorate (consisting mostly of the Augustów Governorate territories) and recreated Łomża Governorate.

Administrative divisions

It was divided into 7 powiats:

• Biebrzańsk County (seat in Szczuczyn)
• Dąbrowski County (seat in Lipsk, later in Augustów)
• Kalvarija County
• Łomża County
• Marijampolė County
• Tykociń County
• Wigierski-Sejny County (seat in Sejny)

After 1918, the southern one-third of the governorate was included in Poland, the rest falling to Lithuania.
