Yekaterinoslav Province (Russian: Екатерининская провинция; Ukrainian: Катерининська провінція) was a province of Novorossiya Governorate in the Russian Empire, with its center in the Bilevska fortress (today Krasnohrad, Ukraine). It was formed in 1764.[1]

It included the Ukrainian line and the Slavo-Serbia colony in its territory.

In 1775, the province was abolished along with the rest of the system of dividing governorates into provinces.[2] Today, the former area of Yekaterinoslav Province is included in modern-day Kharkiv Oblast, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine.
