The Washington State Department of Information Services (DIS) was a Governor's Cabinet-level agency that provided information technology assistance to state and local agencies, school districts, tribal organizations, and qualifying nonprofit groups in Washington.

The Legislature created DIS in 1987 from the consolidation of the state's four independent data processing and communications systems. The agency employed nearly 450 workers who provide more than 100 technology services. It merged into the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) in 2011.
