Georgia-Imeretia Governorate (Russian: Грузино-Имеретинская губерния, Georgian: საქართველო-იმერეთის გუბერნია) was a short-lived governorate (guberniya) of the Caucasus Viceroyalty of the Russian Empire, administered from Tiflis (Tbilisi). Roughly corresponding to modern Georgia and parts of Armenia and Azerbaijan, it was created in 1840 from the territory of the Georgia Governorate and the oblasts of Imereti and Armenia.
It was established on the basis of the law on administrative reform, approved by Emperor Nicholas I on 10 April 1840 under the title "Establishment for the administration of the Transcaucasian region", by uniting the territories of the abolished Georgian province, Armenian and Imereti regions. It was divided into 8 counties: Akhaltsikhe, Belokan (in 1844 it was separated into a separate Jar-Balakan district), Guria, Gori, Elizavetpol, Kutaisi, Telavi and Erivan.

The governorate was created in 1744 from the lands annexed from Siberian and Astrakhan Governorates. In 1782, the governorate, along with Chelyabinsky Uyezd of Perm Viceroyalty were transformed into Ufa Viceroyalty, which was divided into Ufa and Orenburg Oblasts. In 1796, Ufa Viceroyalty was renamed Orenburg Governorate, and in 1865 it was split in two—a smaller Orenburg Governorate, and Ufa Governorate.
