Kalisz Governorate [a] was an administrative-territorial unit ( guberniya) of Congress Poland of the Russian Empire.
It was created in 1837 from the Kalisz Voivodeship, and had the same borders and centre ( Kalisz) as the voivodeship.
The Reform of 1844 merged the governorate into the larger Warsaw Governorate, until the 1867 reform which reversed those changes and recreated the Kalisz Governorate.
