Lesbos Prefecture (Greek: Νομός Λέσβου) was one of the prefectures of Greece. It comprised three main islands: Lesbos itself, Lemnos, and the smaller island of Agios Efstratios. In 2011 the prefecture was abolished and the territory is now covered by the regional units of Lesbos and Lemnos. Its capital was the town of Mytilene, on Lesbos.

Note: Provinces no longer hold any legal status in Greece.
