Nowogródek Voivodeship (Polish: województwo nowogródzkie, Lithuanian: Naugarduko vaivadija, Belarusian: Навагрудзкае ваяводзтва, Latin: Palatinatus Novogrodensis) was a unit of administrative division of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (from 1507) and of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (from 1569), with the capital in the town of Nowogródek (now Belarus).

The Voivodeship was composed of three counties, Nowogródek, Wołkowysk, Słonim, as well as the Duchy of Słuck. It had two senators, two deputies for the Sejm, and two deputies for the Lithuanian Tribunal. Its capital was the town of Nieśwież with the castle and treasury of the Radziwiłł family. Nowogródek Voivodeship ceased to exist along with the sovereign state of Poland following the three Partitions of Poland, perpetrated by the neighboring empires towards the end of 18th century (1772, 1793, 1795).
