The Cephalonia Prefecture (Greek: Νομός Κεφαλληνίας) was a prefecture in Greece, containing the Ionian islands of Cephalonia and Ithaca. In 2011 the prefectural self-government was abolished and the territory is now covered by the regional units of Cephalonia and Ithaca.

It was previously divided into 3 eparchies (provinces), and one independent municipality, Ithaca:

• Krani Province - Argostoli
• Paliki Province - Lixouri
• Sami Province - Sami

The prefecture was divided into eight municipalities and one community:

• Argostoli
• Eleios-Pronnoi
• Erisos
• Ithaca
• Leivathos
• Paliki
• Pylaros
• Sami
• Omala (Community)

All of the preceding are on the Cephalonia island, except Ithaca, which is on its own island of the same name.

• Cephalonia (constituency)
