The Béjaïa Province (Kabyle: Tawilayt n Bgayet; Arabic: ولاية بجاية, Wilāyat Bijāyah; French: wilaya de Béjaïa or province de Béjaïa) is a province of Algeria in the Kabylie region. The province's capital city is Béjaïa, the terminus of the Béni Mansour-Bejaïa line.

Gouraya National Park is located in Béjaïa Province. A population of an endangered primate species, the Barbary macaque, is found within the park; this primate has a severely restricted and disjunctive range.^[2]

The province was created from the Sétif (département) in 1974.
