Kiev Governorate was an administrative-territorial unit (guberniya) of the Tsardom of Russia and the Russian Empire. It was established in December 1708 as one of the eight guberniyas first created during the reforms of Peter the Great.
The first established Kiev Governorate was located east of Dnieper, unlike the second (Kiev Governorate) which was established west of Dnieper in 1802 after the partitions of Poland.
