Kharkiv Governorate (Ukrainian: Харківська губернія) was governorate of Ukraine from 1918-1925.

The region was re-established in 1918 as the Kharkov Governorate plus southern regions of Kursk Governorate and Voronezh Governorate. The governorate had international borders with the Don Republic to the east and the Soviet Russia to the north. During occupation by the Denikin's forces in 1919-1920, it was transformed into the Kharkov Oblast and expanded including several governorates.

After defeat of the Denikin's forces in 1920, it was returned to the borders that it had within the Russian Empire, while some eastern counties were transferred to the newly created Donetsk Governorate. In 1925 it was dissolved into four okruhas: Sumy Okruha, Kharkiv Okruha, Izyum Okruha, Bohodukhiv Okruha and Kupiansk Okruha.
