Lublin Governorate[a] was an administrative-territorial unit (guberniya) ofCongress Poland of theRussian Empire.

The Lublin Governorate was created in 1837 from theLublin Voivodeship, and had the same borders and capital (Lublin) as thevoivodeship.
Its lower levels of administration were also mostly unchanged, although renamed fromobwóds topowiats. There were ten of those units named after their capital cities:Biłgorajski,Chełmski,Hrubieszowski,Janowski,Krasnystawski,Lubartowski,Lubelski,Puławski (from 1842: nowoaleksandryjski),Tomaszowski andZamojski.
The Reform of 1844 merged the governorate withPodlasie Governorate, until the 1867 reform which reversed those changes (although Podlasie Governorate was renamedSiedlce Governorate). In 1912 some of the territories of the governorate were split off into the newly createdKholm Governorate.
