The Province of Vaasa ( _fi. Vaasan lääni, _sv. Vasa län) was a province of Finland from 1917 to 1997. The province was named after the city of Vaasa ( _sv. Vasa).

In 1960 the eastern part was separated as the Province of Central Finland. In 1997 it was reunited with Central Finland, togeather they merged with the northern part of the Province of Häme and the Province of Turku and Pori to establish the new Province of Western Finland.
