The Oklahoma Office of State Finance (OSF) is the Oklahoma state government agency that prepares the Governor of Oklahoma’s annual budget, analyzes the effectiveness of state management, manages the state’s budget system and makes appropriate allotments and transfers throughout the state government. The Office is headed by the Director of State Finance, who is appointed by the Governor with the approval of the Oklahoma Senate, to serve at the pleasure of the Governor. Additionally, the State of Oklahoma's Chief Information Officer (a cabinet level position) reports to the Governor and oversees the Office of State Finance's IT branch.

The current Director of State Finance is Preston Doerflinger, who was appointed by Governor Mary Fallin in 2011, and the current Chief Information Officer is Alex Pettit, appointed by Governor Brad Henry in 2010 and retained by Governor Fallin in 2011.

The Office of State Finance was created in 1947 during the term of Governor of Oklahoma Robert S. Kerr.
